Another original artwork has been added o my online Etsy Shop - the Goddess Gruia. It is a another average-size mixed technique work (linocut, collage, acrylic on canvas), this time inspired by one of my favorite historical monuments in Transylvania, the fortified church in Calnic. Read more about the site HERE.
This original painting is inspired by a historical landmark that I like
in my home region of Transylvania: the fortified medieval Saxon church
in Calnic, Alba County. There is a central keep, depicted here in the
background, surrounded by a courtain wall, and I have added out of my
imagination but also inspired by medieval altar paintings, a vision of
the Virgin with Child and Saint Catherine of Alexandria with her
iconographic attribute, the wheel.
Dimensions: 20 x 20 cm, 2 cm in thickness
Technique: collage, linocut, acrylic on canvas
Unframed but ready to hang, with painted edges and provided with a saw tooth hanger (allowing perfect balance and balance corrections if needed) and canvas stretchers already in place, on the back (if, due to display or storage conditions the canvas should need stretching in the future, the pegs are just pushed in a bit).
