Green Tea

Mary Leonora Carrington's Green Tea is a captivating example of her Surrealism and Symbolic painting. Living predominantly in Mexico City, Carrington infused her works with dreamlike imagery and subconscious themes, reflecting her unique perspective as a British-Mexican artist and novelist. Green Tea embodies her fascination with the mysterious and fantastical, blending playful and unsettling elements that invite viewers to explore deeper symbolic meanings. As one of the last surviving participants of the 1930s Surrealist movement, Carrington's art also resonated with her role in the women’s liberation movement in Mexico during the 1970s, emphasizing themes of liberation and empowerment.
