“Transformation” by Mary Ancilla Martinez

This painting called “Transformation” was created for an oracle deck I am illustrating for hynotherapist Kristin Dwan, and is about the sacred act of chanting as a means of inner transformation. Chanting is an ancient practice for softening the mind and opening the spirit. A repeated sound, spoken again and again, carries us out of ordinary thought and into a quieter rhythm. Like the cycles of the moon, the turning of seasons, or the breath of the forest, this repetition reshapes us. What begins as something simple becomes transformative, weaving through body and spirit until we feel ourselves connected to the vast patterns that hold us all.

I painted this image to emulate holding a moment of that rhythmic flow state. The painting carries the medicine of repetition, rhythm, and openness—a reminder that stillness and motion can coexist, that the unseen often shapes the seen.

“Transformation” is an unframed oil painting on cradled wood. 9″x12″x 1.5″. The image of the painting framed is just a mock up.

Mary Ancilla Martinez

I am a New Mexican born artist who enjoys painting the misty and mystical, wild and free ethereal places where unseen greets seen, where dark weaves light, and land meets sea and sky. I appreciate the exploration of dreams, mythology, archetypes, alchemy and metaphysics. I am deeply inspired by nature….secret whispers from the desert winds, the language of trees, the power and magnificence of animals, the dynamism of the elements, and the infinity of the stars and cosmos. My work is primarily figurative and narrative, created mainly in oils. My current focus examines personal sovereignty inspired by Greek, Celtic, Spanish, French, African and Indigenous mythology. I strive for meaning and intention in each piece, and simultaneously enjoy the engagement found in pure process. I seek a feeling of transcendence in my paintings and desire for my work to touch the viewer with a sense of the divine.
