Sex Pistols


Here's a drawing I made of the Sex Pistols. "God Save The Queen" could make a comeback now that Britain has left the EU. If you don't know the song check it out and listen to the lyrics.

By the way - there's a limited edition of prints of this drawing available on my website http://marianaduartesantos.com/product/sex-pistols/

In the Jockeys' Room


Here’s a new painting I’m working on for a series called “In the Jockey’s Room”. I love the expession in the jockey’s faces before and after a race as well as the overall ambience of the jockey’s room. In this series I’ll be trying to capture the intensity that these people bring to the sport as well as the presure, fear and preparation that goes with racing.

Aftermath


This is an oil triptych I did for an exhibition in Galway comemorating the 100th aniversary of the Ester Rising.
The first piece shows De Valera in Bolands mill, the only rebel stronghold where all women were prohibited from, this paternalistic attitude would foreshadow the plight of women as he shaped it post independence to the church’s demands/requirements. The third piece shows James Connolly,a socialist and incredible thinker and advocate on behalf of women, as he lies wounded in the GPO, fittingly consoled by a female presence. The middle piece, a melting statue of the virgin Mary (melting only on Connolly’s side), attempts to challenge us to imagine how different Ireland’s post rebellion history vis-a-vis becoming or not becoming a Catholic state,might have been if Connolly had survived and helped shape subsequent Irish history.
