About The Art & Author
Artist‘s statement
“When I was a little girl I took a intelligence test that discovered my talent for geometry and math. This was both great news and curse, because i get bored really easily and my mind needs to be stimulated all the time. I was looking for a way to create peace in my head. Something so complex that it would occupy my brain and unleash my creativity. I found art, specifically figural paintings. I was fascinated by art techniques, history, sexuality and human body in my twenties as much as now in my fifties. I decided to create collections of paintings with unique stories and secrets hidden inside. It took me more than thirty years. I like to depict complexity, bright colors, geometry, sexuality, feminine qualities… everything together to create sensory satisfaction. I believe that painting is very complex form of art that should be made with extreme quality in mind.
Art is my passion.
Art is the purpose of my life.“
Art & Christi Autem Generatio
Inspired by Book of Kells
Painting Christi Autem Generatio represents author vision of single page from Book of Kells. This book was created c. 800 AD. It contains illustrations and ornaments that surpass other Gospel books in extravagance and complexity.
This page illustrates the first time Jesus appears in the Bible, and the words literally explode onto the page. Matthew 1:18 reads, “This is how the birth of Christ came about.” This illumination shows the words, “Christi autem generatio,” which is Latin for, “The birth of Christ.” “Christi” is written with the monogram Chi Rho, or χρ in Greek, “autem” is abbreviated with the Greek letter η, and “generatio” is written out at the bottom of the page. The decoration throughout has mostly two-dimensional patterns and designs with some little creatures such as cats, mice, otters, salmon, and three elaborate angels who hold up the left side of the Chi (χ). Sadly, the precise meaning of these symbols is lost to us today. A fascinating detail is the red-haired human head at the center of the Rho (ρ). Very likely this is a portrait of Jesus, as seen through Irish eyes.
