Limited Edition  Print of a Unique Collage made in 2019 by Vané Russo

The portrayal of women as virgins has evolved significantly over time, intertwining classic aesthetics with contemporary interpretations. This collage reflects that duality, showcasing how modern sensibilities reinterpret traditional themes.

In classical art, the Virgin Mary has often been depicted with an ethereal quality: soft, flowing garments, a serene expression, and an aura of divinity. Modern representations might juxtapose this iconic image.

Classic paintings often feature women surrounded by flowers symbolizing purity and innocence. In a modern context, these women can be reimagined. This transition juxtaposes the ideal of virginity with the realities of contemporary life, suggesting that purity can exist in different contexts.

Modern representations of virgins can engage in social commentary, depicting women standing against societal pressures—dressed in traditional garments while asserting their individuality. This expression critiques the concept of virginity and status quo, merging empowerment with a classic aesthetic.

In this collage, the essence of virginity is reinterpreted through a modern lens, bridging the gap between historical ideals and today's dynamic society. By blending these two worlds, a nuanced understanding of women's roles and identities emerges, reflecting both tradition and change.
