Portrait of a nude woman from behind with a renaissance air. She is the Norse goddess Freyja and has runes tattoed on her back, a butterfly perched on her shoulder. Her hair stands on end mysteriously as she lounges on red velvet.

This Freyja is for pink lovers :-)
Heavily inspired by Klimt, I am finally putting the skills I learnt in my gilding course to use.
This is a one of a kind piece - I've taken my photographic artwork of Freyja, and handpainted the background, and embellished with 23k gold. Professionally framed in a beautiful gold frame.

Freyja, a goddess from Norse mythology. She's a patron of love, death, fertility and creativity (amongst other things). The butterfly is a re-ocurring symbol for me of new beginnings and transformations. The runes tattooed on her back are wishes for the road ahead:
Othala - ancestors
Naudhiz - Endurance
Dagaz - Awakening
Raidho - Journey
Sowilo - Success
Jera - Fruitful Harvest

"What I want to say is
that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen.
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live your life." M.Oliver
