Is ar Mhná a Ritheann an Domhain (This World Runs on Women)

Loved this theme “Femina”!

As there would be three pieces made for this theme, I decided to effectively make a triptych based on the triple goddess architype. Emphasising the strength of women is very important to me and our often overlooked place in this world.

Inspired by the ornate artistic style of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha and his art nouveau stylised portraits of women, I made some sketches and selected my colour palette of aquas.

Each design was then finalised on paper and construction began!

Accidently I started making the third and final piece first and then realised I needed to get the others made quickly as deadlines were looming.

I decided to use the Irish language foe the titles of these pieces

Femina 2 & 3 in progress

All three in progress
