The Egyptian goddess Bastet in a modern style on canvas (mixed media or as an art print)
The goddess Bastet is associated with cats and, like cats themselves, stands for grace, protection and fertility. In ancient Egypt, cats were not only sacred, but were also seen as protectors of the home - not only because they kept the house 'clean' by hunting mice, but also because they were seen to protect the home energetically from harm. Any cat fan will know the special energy cats add to our homes.
In this picture, I have depicted Bastet as half a cat, as a symbol of her "merging" with the feline beings. In this way, the characteristics of the cat merge into her.
The picture is part of my Mythology seriesin which I paint figures from ancient legends and myths in a modern setting. I do this deliberately because I want to remind you that there are superpowers in all of us and that the heroes, gods etc. are only a symbol of this. The old legends still live on - even in you! But we can interpret them in a modern way.
In this painting I have integrated an ancient symbol (the Ankh) together with the spray paints into the painting as if someone could have painted it on a wall in modern times. This combines the ancient symbols and images with our modern world
This painting was created in several layers with acrylic and oil paints. It has a "3D effect" with texture and gold leaf. You have the choice of ordering the original painting (50×60 cm on canvas) or an art print (also 50×60 cm on canvas, will be printed after ordering). Of course, only the original painting has the unique structure and special materials such as gold leaf. The unique radiance of the oil paints can also only be seen in the original painting. The print may differ in color from the original.

Original painting or art print? You decide
Here you can see a direct comparison of an art print vs. the original, both on canvas. Elements made of a special material, such as textured paste or gold leaf, can of course look different and less vivid in the art print. The canvases of the art prints contain a small amount of polyester and are therefore harder than "real" art canvases. However, the other finishes are very similar to the original.
All canvases have either an enclosed metal hanger (the art prints) or a picture wire attached by me (originals) so that the pictures can easily be hung directly on a nail on the wall.
The fine art prints on paper come unframed, as it is my experience that the taste for picture frames is very individual and they should match the interior. However, if you would like to receive your fine art paper print framed, please contact me instead of booking here via the store. Then I can give you the prices for already framed pictures and order them manually according to your wishes.
