Description

Buried, Yet Standing

Mixed Media (Acrylic Paint, Coffee, Coffee Grounds, and Gold Leaf) on 24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.4 cm) Canvas
Artist: Gisella Garcia

In Buried, Yet Standing, Gisella Garcia transforms everyday materials into a powerful reflection on faith, perseverance, and renewal. A cross constructed from textured acrylic paint and coffee grounds rises from a luminous background created with layers of coffee and gold leaf. The organic textures and earthy tones evoke a sense of endurance and history, while the shimmering gold accents introduce warmth, hope, and spiritual light.

Inspired by the belief that strength can emerge from life’s most difficult seasons, the artwork reflects the enduring nature of faith even when circumstances feel uncertain. The title speaks to the idea that what is buried is not necessarily lost; like a seed beneath the soil, growth and transformation often begin in unseen places. Through its thoughtful use of natural materials and symbolic imagery, Buried, Yet Standing serves as a reminder of resilience, grace, and the unwavering strength found in faith.
