This painting hangs in a Mexican restaurant. I kind of like it but I find the system of the symbols baffling. Lots of food, but also butterfly wings and a skull and a light bulb. I need that "symbologist" guy from the Da Vinci Code to unravel it for me. Then I'll be able to find the secret treasure.
Visually, I am reminded of Catholic portrayals of the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary.
But in this work of art, she's been enchanted.
Instead of a heart, she's got a pomegranate.
