Anna Banana - “La noche guiada”

Look at that small boat in the midst of the storm, feel how it teeters on the dark waves, surrounded by a deep sky.
Notice the hand that appears above, among the clouds, placing stars.
It’s not just a symbolic gesture: it’s guidance, it’s care.
It is the certainty that even in moments of confusion and fear, there is something that organizes the light and shows us the way.
And the boat... is not alone.
Although the storm surrounds it, there is a thread of hope that sustains it.
This painting speaks of the uncertain, but also of the quiet companionship that sustains us; the uncertain is something that overwhelms me so much... not having control over things makes it hard for me to trust, to let go, to carry on, until I realized that if I don’t surrender, I don’t live.
This work does not ask you to understand everything, only to look, feel, and recognize.

Technique: acrylic and pencil on canvas
