"Xochiquetzal - Blooming Flower" is a painting that radiates joy and peace, reflecting the abundance of Aztec culture and universal values of love and beauty. The creator of this work, Dr. Magdalena Laabs , drew inspiration from numerous travels around the world, including several visits to Mexico and Mexico City. During these travels, she had the opportunity to research the story of Xochiquetzal as well as other fascinating tales from Aztec mythology.
Xochiquetzal is a figure from Aztec mythology and is known as the goddess of love, beauty, sexuality, fertility, flowers, and crafts and the arts. Her name translates as "Blooming Flower" or "Beautiful Flower," reflecting her connection to nature and human desires. That is why Magdalena Laabs named the painting exactly that: "Xochiquetzal - Blooming Flower."
Xochiquetzal became the central motif of this painting. Her name, which means "Blooming Flower" or "Beautiful Flower", is a symbol of connection with nature and human aspirations . The depiction of this figure as a cheerful, smiling woman thinking of something beautiful reflects the spiritual essence of Xochiquetzal, who once lived in Tamoanchan - the paradisiacal land of the birth of the gods according to Aztec beliefs.
The goddess was also associated with Tlalocan - a place of eternal spring and happiness - and her history is full of dramatic events, including her abduction by Tezcatlipoca, which led to conflict with her husband Tlaloc. The figure of Xochiquetzal in Aztec mythology symbolizes the cyclical aspects of life that are inextricably linked to the natural cycles of existence and cultural practices.
The motifs of butterflies, flowers and birds associated with her give her figure color and life energy. The goddess is often depicted as a young and attractive woman, emphasizing her flawlessness and eternal youth. Xochiquetzal remains one of the most esteemed figures in the Aztec pantheon of gods and her image continues to be present in Mexican culture.
In this painting from the "Green Lady" series, which bears Magdalena Laabs 's familial medallion with the initials "ML," the woman embodies a contemporary interpretation of Xochiquetzal that combines both the historical heritage and the artist's personal experiences. The depiction of the goddess as a woman with her eyes closed and a smile on her lips invites contemplation and appreciation of the inner secrets of each being, an invitation to recognize and celebrate the inner beauty that has withstood the test of time.
The medallion that the figure wears in the painting seems to transcend the boundaries of the canvas, giving the impression of three-dimensionality and transcending the boundaries of the artwork. Its distinctive embossment and the way the captured light highlights its contours make it a focal point of the composition, attracting attention and fascinating the viewer.

🎨 Colour shades and style:
The painting 'Blooming Flower' from the 'Green Lady' series celebrates the full range of green tones, from subtle and delicate to intense and deep, which together create a unified but dynamic image of nature. These greens are the only colors in the image, but the variety of their tones and saturation give the work a rich depth and a sense of life and natural pulsation.
The use of luminous colors that react to UV light and glow in the dark is not only an artistic accent here, but also one metaphorical reference to the life-giving energy of nature, which reveals itself in all its beauty after dusk. The light absorbed during the day and emitted at night transforms the image into a living element of the room, adding a mystical dimension and inviting one to contemplate the hidden aspects of nature.
The use of luminous colors gives the painting 'Blooming Flower' a unique dimension by connecting it to the ceaseless rhythm of nature, which expresses endless renewal and transformation in its cyclical dance of day and night. This artistic transition from the brightness of the day to the mysterious atmosphere of the night emphasizes not only the physical but also the symbolic aspects of life in which light and darkness coexist in harmony.
The luminous glow of the image that blooms after sunset is not just decoration; it reflects the deep inner light that beats from the heart of the goddess depicted. This light, which does not go out in the darkness, becomes a promise of unshakable hope and symbolizes the inexhaustible power of the spirit that helps to overcome the darkest moments.
Furthermore, the image's nighttime glow can be seen as a bridge connecting us to the spiritual spaces of the ancient Aztecs, evoking their deep connection with the natural and divine world. In the UV light that illuminates the work after dark, we can see a reference to these mystical belief systems and practices in which light was considered a symbol of higher wisdom and the power of supernatural forces.
