"Alive" – Original Mixed Media Artwork by Cata Jau Art
"Alive" is a deeply personal and emotional piece, created during my pregnancy with my son, Luca. It embodies the overwhelming love, joy, and anticipation that filled my heart during that transformative time. This artwork is a reflection of both the beauty and fragility of life, capturing the excitement of new beginnings while honoring the profound experiences that shaped my journey.
Each element in this piece holds a powerful meaning: the little boy symbolises my son, the rainbow represents my miscarriage—a loss that will always be part of my story—and the heart signifies the love that carried me through it all. Every brushstroke and colour choice was instinctive, a visual manifestation of my emotions. The interplay between deep blue and warm, glowing tones likely emerged from the moment I discovered I was having a boy, filling me with both peace and happiness.
This painting is not just an abstract composition; it is a testament to resilience, hope, and the boundless love that connects us to those we cherish most.
