"Milagros"

Contreras Gallery - 2010

This exhibition is based on the Ex-Voto style of painting, with European and Hispanic origins.
This is a guest artist event, with over 16 Ex-Votos and Retablos

 

Ex-Voto, taken from Latin, (ex voto suscepto) meaning: "from the vow made".

Ex-Votos can be a variety of offerings, to saints, The Virgin Mary, or The Trinity.

They are the hand painted votives on metal plates, offered in gratitude, and devotion for the fulfillment of a personal vow.
