“I pained over the final interpretation on the 8 x 4 ft canvas for months, listening to the symphony obsessively, adding layer upon layer until it became apparent I could no longer continue. I stood back in astonishment of what was in front of me, a painting so ruthless and brutal that I felt undeniably the irrevocable truth of life. I was looking at Mahler’s premonition of his fate to come."

~ Paula Arciniega
