Lithograph and “Glitter” Collages
Created towards the end of Niki de Saint Phalle's career, Totem brings together the principal themes that run throughout her oeuvre. Its references to Portrait of My Lover, the Nanas and Hon are more than acts of self-quotation: they situate the work within a retrospective meditation in which the artist revisits the formative stages of her creative journey. This personal narrative unfolds around the figure of the totem, a symbol of protection and mediation between worlds, inspired by the cosmologies that informed her imagination during the final years of her life. The skull dominating the composition evokes both death and renewal, while the spider and the bat embody deeply personal fears that the artist consciously transformed into cathartic motifs. By bringing together artistic memories, personal symbolism and spiritual references, Totem stands as a work of synthesis in which artistic creation becomes a means of lending coherence to both a life and an oeuvre.
