‘COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MATERNITY’ ICONS and THE DIGITAL FRESCO

France 2006 – 2009

Publishing 2009-2014

The project maternity overlaps art, design and space disciplines and explores the theme of motherhood. This series is made up of three parts.

Part 1, a series of icons

Pre- maternity is a space of ideas, images, symbols, collective ideals, and the sublimation of motherhood. My choice is directed to painting as the most personal and free medium . The result is a series of icons (30x30cm) exposed in January 2008 and 2009 in Paris. I wanted to deal with motherhood within the meaning of ultimate creation, essential and spiritual, beyond any cultural barriers and differences. This is why this research became an iconographic exercise of the collective consciousness of motherhood and is inspired by many cultural references, including German Expressionism, Russian Orthodoxy, Japanese art and more. I have chosen, for example, the icons of Jesus and Mary as the ideal, cultural and ethical Symbol of motherhood. I personalize this sublimation of motherhood with my story, without breaking the recognizable aesthetic icons.

Part 2  Digital Fresco, Plage

The zero point, childbirth, a time of transition from abstract to concrete, a moment of intense emotion creates an intersection, a space of consciousness. I chose to decline series 1 of this project into vertical black ink compositions, using my design patterns and my architectural plan into  autobiographical ‘ icons ‘ of ” digital Fresco ” with large vertical panels printed in a limited edition signed, numbered and edited by Plage Artist Series .
