Carmen Carpena did this painting during the first three months of lock-down and it was inspired by the City of New York, to honor the doctors, nurses and people who lost their lives.
This whole idea was originated right after seeing the New York governor's interview on the news when they questioned his decision of closing the business; the reporters repeatedly saying that closing was not the cure, that the cure was worse that the Illness, the moment he said that the illness was death, her mind represented the virus as skeletons (death) and from there came the idea of painting this sad moment in history.
She was moved by the Governor’s powerful speech .
For her this fight represents a battle because of the media calling the hospitals the front line.
Usually when she feels sadness she paints, it helps with her sorrow.
It made her so sad all was going on there.
Oil on canvas. 5ft by 8ft inspired by Leonardo da Vinci sketch the battle of Anghiari.
Unique hand-made oil painting on canvas.

About Carmen Carpena
Carmen Carpena is an artist who was born and raised in Mexico, her passion for art and painting was something she unfortunately had to set aside. Living in a country with a struggling economy, she was advised to study a different career to secure a future. However, she was determined to follow the path that God positioned before her, so after graduating college she moved to the United States where she fully devoted herself to raising a family.
It wasn’t until just eight years ago that the tragic loss of a very close family member touched her heart and prompted her to pick up a pencil and paper in an attempt to deal with the pain. Drawing her precious cousin with a pair of angel wings proved to be the remedy for her sorrow. After posting the drawing titled “Today you try out your wings, fly with God” on social media, the work gained recognition among her peers, prompting her to continue painting.
Within a short period, her works could be found in various art shows and galleries. Initially she found herself drawn towards realism and produced realistic paintings in oils and acrylics but later found freedom in the abstract style, comprised primarily of random chaotic patterns where she found beauty and logic balancing the chaos with color.
