The Priestess
€ 250,00
In this striking and mystically evocative portrait, we are presented with The Priestess—an embodiment of ancient feminine wisdom, sacred sensuality, and silent sovereignty. Her nudity is not eroticized, but symbolic: a deliberate stripping away of falsehood, revealing the raw, sacred truth of womanhood unbound by time or dogma.
Her posture is still, yet filled with latent presence. The horned headdress recalls ancient goddess archetypes—Isis, Inanna, and the High Priestess of the Tarot—whose towering crowns signified access to divine knowledge. It also evokes the lunar horns of the moon goddess, suggesting she is both oracle and guardian of hidden cycles.
Draped across her shoulders is a soft, gold-tinted veil—part cloak, part armor—signaling both humility and divine rank. Around her neck hangs a blue pendant, its eye-like design resonating with protection, intuition, and the third eye of spiritual vision. It is the portal through which mysteries are both received and transmitted.
Hovering beside her is a yellow bird, caught mid-flight. It is the soul, the message-bearer, the spirit freed from the confines of flesh. Its golden feathers echo the color of her robe—linking heaven and earth, voice and body, mind and mystery. The bird could also be seen as her daimon, or guiding spirit, whispering truths from beyond the veil.
Her gaze is detached, introspective, and inwardly focused. She is not here to entertain or seduce. She is here to witness, to remember, and to guard the sacred flame. She is the embodiment of the forgotten feminine—sensual but not sexualized, powerful but not violent, wise yet not loud.
This artwork is not a portrait of one woman, but a visual invocation of the eternal feminine mystery—the priestess within every seeker who dares to turn inward.
