This work, created across several canvases arranged in a horizontal sequence, depicts a ritual scene rich in symbolism and visual power. At the center, a river painted in deep blue tones runs through the entire composition with stylized swirls, serving as a unifying axis between the various groups of human figures and natural elements that surround it. Along the riverbanks, dozens of mostly female figures gather in poses that evoke prayer, dance, contemplation, or intimate communication, as if participating in a collective ritual to invoke or celebrate the rain.
The atmosphere is serene and mystical, reinforced by the presence of lush vegetation and fantastical animals—such as a winged horse or birds in mid-flight—that lend a mythological tone to the scene. The color palette, dominated by deep blues and soft ochres, along with the almost transparent rendering of the figures, creates a sense of suspended time, as if the scene belonged to an ancestral memory or a sacred vision. The work suggests a profound connection between human beings, nature, and the invisible forces that govern the cycles of the world.
