About The Artwork Mixed media painting, including screen print, monotype, traditional opil painting and scrilic technique, on double panel (diptych), 200 x 200 cm,2018 Holy Easter! Holy London! Holy! - Consideration around a city – Holy Easter , Holy London, Holy! is part of the series " considerations around a city" the first series where I started to catch photos around peculiar situations or habits of a city I have been living in. The images have a strong bond with old masters paintings or subjects and compositions from the history of art. Most of the time the situations are quite representative of a specific social status/ city issue. I was able to have a few glance in the Fountayne Road community from which I developed three paintings. This photo has been taken in the context of an Easter feast, the religious elements and patterns that we see, create a relationship with the figures of the three Marys, functioning as a window path from past to present. The commune becomes an iconic place, were idolatry from the past as priest, bread and wine find a new connection with present icons such as Lindt’s rabbits, barbies and eggs. A new landscape between life, religion and ordinary. Iconography and Idolatry.Saint and defamatory.

These stories have not only entertained but also taught valuable lessons about courage, friendship, and the natural world. The silver screen has been equally enamored with our long-eared friends. Who can forget the wisecracking Bugs Bunny or the lovable Roger Rabbit? The Easter Bunny, originally known as "Oschter Haws" or the Easter Hare, hails from Germany. The earliest known mention of this mythical creature dates back to a German text from 1572. The tradition involves the hare laying a nest of colorful eggs for well-behaved children, a custom that was later brought to America by German immigrants in the 1700s. These immigrants settled in Pennsylvania and introduced the tradition of the egg-laying hare, which evolved into the modern Easter Bunny The tradition of the Easter egg hunt also has roots in German customs. Children would build nests for the Easter Hare to lay its eggs, which they would then hunt for in the garden. This practice was brought to America by German immigrants and has since become a widespread Easter tradition. The eggs, often decorated and hidden, symbolize new life and resurrection, aligning with the themes of Easter. Collecting Easter Bunny memorabilia has become a popular hobby for many enthusiasts. These collectors often seek out vintage and unique items, such as antique chocolate molds, figurines, and decorations. The appeal lies in the nostalgia and the rich history associated with the Easter Bunny, making it a cherished part of Easter celebrations for many families. In summary, the Easter Bunny and the Easter egg hunt are traditions steeped in folklore and cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. They bring joy and a sense of wonder to the holiday, celebrating themes of renewal and new life. • The piece has an imprinted stamp on the inside.• Plated with 24K gold• Each crystal is handpicked and artistically placed on the piece• The trinket box has a magnetic fastener to secure the closure.• The item is shipped in an elegant black box.• The item is painted by hand using a unique procedure that combines a distinctive enamel technique inlaid with Austrian crystals.
