《Flight of Flames》

Flight of Flames quotes the biblical story of St. Mark's Gospel and depicts Jesus resurrecting a child. Thus, Posia Zwahera's paintings focus on the desire for spiritual transcendence, the vision of freedom from the constant suffering of human beings, and the desire to be exalted. The rising central figure is surrounded by radioactive halos and motifs that resemble crochet or lace ornaments, suggesting a protective veil, with a guiding effect of embrace and encouragement.

Her works are gorgeous and mysterious, like a woman's veil, with a very distinct personal style, a strong sense of form, and each work has a breathtaking charm.

The dramatic picture is another feature of Portia Zwahera's work, and in front of her work a sense of tension and struggle comes over her, a rhythm that can be heard, resounding throughout the canvas, the figure in the center of the picture, it is difficult to say what emotions, sadness or pain are depicted in rich colors and cheerful patterns, while joy or excitement may appear in front of a dark or gloomy background.
