this piece one month after the birth of my son, Aritz. It took about two months to finish, between taking care of
my son, trying to sleep and adjusting to a very new life. I held Aritz most of the time and used the sling (like the
one in the painting) so that he could be close to me while I painted. Madre Gotica represents a big chunk of our
time together during that period. I called this quot;Goticaquot; because of the shape of her hair. It reminds me of the
Gothic churches and cathedrals in my home country with the point windows. She has dark native skin and a
Gothic European shape--the two roots where my son comes from.quot; - Sole Ciganda
