Madonna
Aija Zarina
1998
Print. Paper, drawing ink. 43 x 60 cm.
“Madonna” by Aija Zariņa embodies the artist’s passion for feminism issues and the breaking of traditional art forms and stereotypes. The graphics do not demonstrate the typical image of Madonna, and do not indicate the presence of narrowly perceived beauty or purity. Naive drama can be observed in the work, which emphasises the woman’s presence in art and its history.
