Born I 2007

Carmen Delaco's 2007 painting "Born I" is an abstract expressionist work that portrays the birth of a child. The artwork is dominated by a central figure, a fleshy, white form, which is likely a newborn baby. This figure is surrounded by swirling, abstract shapes in shades of red, black, and gray, creating a sense of both awe and vulnerability. The painting's use of bold strokes and vivid colors evokes the emotional intensity of this life-changing event, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of new beginnings.
