The Egyptian goddess Hathor in a modern style on canvas (mixed media or as an art print)
In ancient Egypt, the goddess Hathor stood for art and music, joie de vivre and pleasure - but also for the protection of the family and children. It is also thanks to her meanings of abundance, fertility and motherhood that she is often depicted with cow horns. As my pictures often contain animal elements, I have naturally taken up this aspect of Hathor at the same time.
The painting 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 combined an ancient symbol (the Ankh) together with the spray paints, collage elements and gold leaf to mix the traditional elements and symbols of Hathor with modern ones. Especially the versatile patterns through the collages are meant to represent the multitude of possibilities and creativity that are part of Hathor's meaning.
This painting was created in several layers with acrylic and oil paints. It has a "3D effect" due to the feel of the collages and the light-reflecting gold leaf. You have the choice of ordering the original painting (60×60 cm on canvas) or an art print (also 60×60 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.
Note: In this case, the art print on paper variant is only 50×50 cm, as the 60 cm option is not available for printing.

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.
