◾The collage is made with cuts that represent concepts importants for me: feminism, not war, not to femicide, human rights, womens rights, peace, freedom, art, culture, no to FGM, women artists
Mecheruca is my favorite cat, who accompanied me in the hardest years of my life. Mecheruca was the company that helped me to live that time, day by day. She was for me, much more than a cat!!

Thank you for sharing this amazing art along with your personal inspiration for creating it. I'm so happy for you that you had Mecheruca in your life :)

It is great that you can combine words that are meaningful to you and your love of cats. Very effective indeed!

I love it when a painting is so much more than technical ability. This one surely speaks to me.

Madalena, I so like not only this highly creative artwork, but your description as well, which I too so heartily believe in. Wonderful! Thank you. like/f

Ohhh, Madalena!! Isn't this a gem, gem, GEM!! LOVE the collage a-n-d LOVE your backstory - especially your moving story of your beloved Mecheruca..I had a cat who got me through suuuch sad, bad times, too. I don't think your Mecheruca or my Hetty-cat were cats at all but, rather, Angels in cat costumes. Hugs, Charlotte

Love it, Madalena! I love the title too but then I thought...wait...a cat would definitely think there IS nothing more to be than a cat...(Aren't we the highest from of life.) Their confidence is part of their allure. Your paintings with our feline friends are great.
