About the artwork: “María madre de Jesús” (Mary Mother of Jesus). This Mary has many titles throughout history and in different faiths. Some include, Blessed Virgin Mary, La Madonna, Our Lady, Queen Of Heaven, Our Lady of Sorrows, and Mary Mother of God to name a few.
These loving names and titles to me are a representation of how dearly she is loved, revered for her holiness and faith.
