Coat of arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a watercolor finish.

Coat of arms of Ria Persad, from Trinidad and Tobago (birth), India and Japan (ancestry), and USA (residence). Her coat of arms has been designed by her, by Rudolph Juchter van Bergen Quast of the Netherlands, and by Kevin D. Couling of the United Kingdom, resident in New Zealand, and painted by me, from the Kingdom of Spain.

Design rationale

Mathematician and astrophysicist from Harvard and Princeton Universities, as well as a classical musician, she represents a woman of the world—scientific and with diverse roots, who expresses her identity through a symbolic language of her own creation. Her design and execution are the result of an international team, in service of an equally international woman, and reflect a path of evolution toward which heraldry is advancing. The Kramer parrot (Psittacula krameri, Indian Ringneck) is shown in its natural colour. It is her favourite animal and at the same time evokes her Indian heritage. The red chrysanthemum, painted in a Japanese style, refers to her Japanese ancestry. The atom symbolises her education and professional career in the field of science. Blue, which dominates the whole, is her favourite colour.

«Embrazado a la diestra» is how [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 69] names the contre-embrassé, since the two charges, one upper and one lower, enter from the dexter of the shield, leaving their points in the sinister. It must be kept in mind that what remains between both charges is the field.
