This Woman Reimagined Michelangelo's "The Creation Of Adam"With Black Women And It's Beautiful 以黑人女性形象重绘《创造亚当》

This is Harmonia Rosales, a 33-year-oldartist living in Chicago. 哈尔摩尼亚·罗萨莱斯是芝加哥一位33岁的艺术家。
She's been in tune with herabilities since she was very young. "I've been creating art since my motorskills kicked in," she told BuzzFeed News. 她从幼年起便对自己的绘画能力运用自如。“当我能够掌控动作技能，就开始创作作品。”她告诉BuzzFeed新闻。 "I was raised in a creativeenvironment," she said. Rosales also noted that "artistic expressionwas floating in the air" in her household growing up. Her mother is anartist and her father, a musically inclined guy, played the congas. “我成长的环境中充满创造力，”她说。罗萨莱斯还提到，在她从小长大的家里“艺术表达飘荡在空气中”。她的母亲是位画家，父亲很有音乐天赋，是一位康茄鼓手。

I repeated visuals of my mother hunched over her art tablechurning out illustration after illustration starting with a blank canvas and avision of a full one. I often would crawl under my mother's art table and trackher movements, her brushstrokes, her ideas, her illustrations. She would let meexperiment with all her expensive oils and brushes, never once telling me whatto paint or how, but letting me find my own style." 罗萨莱斯把自己萌发对艺术的兴趣归功于自己的父母。“孩子总是模仿他们的父母，我的父母就是我的好榜样。我那时反复地看着我的母亲伏在她的工作台上一张接一张地画着插图，把一张张空白的画布填满。我经常爬到她的工作台底下盯着她的一举一动，她的笔触、想法和插图。她会让我拿她所有昂贵的油彩和画笔做试验，从来没有告诉我画什么或怎么画，只是让我找到自己的风格。” One of Rosales' pieces, which she calls"The Creation of God" recently went viral. 罗萨莱斯一幅名叫《创造上帝》的画作最近风头正劲。 The piece is based on Michelangelo 's"The Creation of Adam," famously displayed in the Sistine Chapel."I wanted to take a significant painting, a widely recognized paintingthat subconsciously or consciously conditions us to see white male figures aspowerful and authoritative and flip the script, establish a counternarrative," she told BuzzFeed News, elaborating on why she decided to makereimagine the well-known work of art with black women. 这幅作品以现在展出在西斯廷教堂的米开朗基罗传世名画《创造亚当》为模板。“我想挑一幅意义重大的，广为人知的作品，其中有意无意给我们营造出白人男性充满力量和权威的印象，然后我把它改头换面，讲一个完全相反的故事，”她告诉BuzzFeed新闻，并详细阐述了为什么她决定以黑人女性形像重新创作这幅名画。 Says Rosales, "White figures are astaple in classic art featured in major museums. They are the 'masters' of themasterpieces. Why should that continue?" 罗萨莱斯说，“白人形象在各大博物馆作为特色的古典艺术作品中总是占据主要地位。他们是各种杰作的‘主人公’。为什么要这种情况继续下去呢？”
"Replacing the white male figures — themost represented— with people I believe have been the least represented canbegin to recondition our minds to accept new concepts of human value. ... If Ican touch even a small group of people and empower them through the power ofart, then I've succeeded in helping to change the way we see the world. ... Andwhen you consider that all human life came out of Africa, the Garden of Edenand all, then it only makes sense to paint God as a black woman, sparking lifein her own image." “将最具代表性的白人男性形象替换成我相信是最没有代表性的形象，能够让我们开始改变思维，接受关于人类价值的新观念……如果我能触动哪怕很小一群人并且通过艺术赋予他们力量，那我就已经成功地帮助大家改变了看待世界的方法……当你考虑到人类起源于非洲，还有伊甸园这等等一切，那么只有把上帝画成黑人女性才符合道理，因为她是以自己的形象创造人类的。 "In the essence of Picasso, my whole life," Rosales said when asked how long it tookher to create her latest piece. "Every skill, life experience, and emotionhas led me straight to this particular piece and every piece thereafter." “我的整个人生，有着毕加索的精髓，”当被问及她创作最近的作品花了多长时间时罗萨莱斯说。“每一种技巧、生活经验和情绪都将我直接引向这幅特定的作品以及今后的每一幅作品。

And the way in which her ideas form, and theway she's acted on them, is a very organic process. 形成以及实践她的这些想法，是非常复杂有机的过程。 "I have an idea, it might not be fullythought out, but first the idea. Then I let it marinate. Often I'll place ablank canvas by my bed so that I may wake up and sleep to it. And, while Isleep, it speaks to me," Rosales said. She also said that she doesn'tsketch her creations, everything happens at once on the canvas by which theyare brought to life. "My subjects morph and their expressions change asthey speak to me and reveal themselves to me. Sometimes I will go over an areamultiple times until they virtually come to life." “我有个想法，可能并不完全成熟，但想法是第一位的。然后我把它沉浸在脑海中。我经常把空白的画布放在床边，那样我睡着或醒着都跟它在一起。在我睡着时，它会跟我说话，”罗萨莱斯说。她还说她不会先画出草稿，所有在画布上即时呈现的都来自于生活。“我的创作里人物会改变，他们在跟我说话时表情在变化，他们在向我展示自己。有时我会在一个区域仔细绘画多次，直到他们活灵活现。” Rosales' work definitely has a recurringtheme: women of color. "I paint women darker then me because I want no oneto mistake who I'm representing. I paint what I know, who I identifywith," she told BuzzFeed News. 罗萨莱斯的作品的确有一个经常出现的主题：有色人种女性。“我画的女性比我肤色更深，因为我不希望别人误解我代表的人群，我画的是我所知道的，以及我所认同的自己。”她对BuzzFeed新闻表示。 "We have beenunderrepresented and misrepresented for so long that I feel I should paint toempower us. We need powerful images for our youth tosee." “我们已经被忽视被误解得太久了，我觉得自己应该在画作里展示我们的强大。我们需要让我们的年轻人看到充满力量的形象。” Herdaughter is another reason why Rosales is passionate about the work she does."I want my daughter to grow up proud of her curls and coils, her brownskin, and for her to identify as a woman of color, a woman of value." 女儿的存在是罗萨莱斯对这幅作品充满热情的另一原因。“我想让我的女儿长大后为她的卷发和棕色的皮肤而自豪，为她身为有色人种女性、有价值的女性而自豪。” "WhatI do with my art contributes to the way she and all other little girls like herwill come to recognize themselves." “我要用我的作品让她和其他像她一样的小女孩们以这样的方式认识自己。” Rosales'"The Creation of God" will be part of an exhibited series in the nearfuture. 罗萨莱斯的《创造上帝》不久将会在一个系列展览中展出。 Shealso plans to work with fellow artist Aldis Hodge on a series about persecutionthat will debut at the end of the year. "This particular series willrelate to the masses," she said. 她还计划与另一位艺术家奥尔迪斯·霍吉合作创作一个迫害主题的系列作品，并将于年底首次展出。“这个系列将与大众息息相关”她说。 Theoriginal link: 原文链接：
