In many cultures, women's hair is a means of female attractiveness and seduction. In other cultures, and here I also include the Christian culture, covering women's hair means humility and submission. Sir William Ramsey explains: “In the East, the veil is a woman's power, honor, and dignity. With a veil on her head, she can go anywhere in safety and deep respect." In recent times, this kind of thinking has become extreme, even bigoted, in many areas of our Earth. Even in Europe, several countries are talking about the women's principle, the demographic duty of women, and the treatment of women at the government level is also a concern. Strictly covered hair became a symbol of women's oppression. In my painting, I reflected on the oppressive tendency. The unusual headgear strictly covers the hair, not a single hair peeks out. With this headdress, I am making the oppression of women independent of space and time. At the same time, a strong-willed, determined woman wears this headgear, which creates tension in the image. In this context, covering hair is a way of expressing resistance to oppressive norms and asserting agency and autonomy over the body and identity. This act of self-expression can be perceived as a way of asserting one's identity and reclaiming agency and power in an environment where women's bodies and actions are often regulated and governed by patriarchal norms. The MDF panel is mounted on a frame. Ready to hang!

Hungary
„I show the details instead of the whole, sort of inviting the viewer to embrace and understand their surroundings” Dora Stork was selected artist in the London Art Biennale in 2023, an award-winning Hungarian painter whose art has appeared in solo and group exhibitions in the UK, Hungary, and Romania. Her work can also be found in many private collections in the United States, the European Union, and Japan. Dora is an abstract realistic encaustic artist: abstract in the world of color, realistic in the world of form, and symbolist in meaning. As a politically minded painter, she is interested in public life as well as social and economic processes. She presents her particular vision in these works. The dreamlike compositions are her intuitive reflections on public issues. At the same time, seemingly astonishing, strange circumstances and inappropriate details on a rational sphere might evoke questions in the viewer. She mainly uses pure wax and pigments to make her paintings. Over the years, she has developed a medium that does not contain oil or any non-waxy additives. When she occasionally paints with acrylic, the characteristics of her figurative style transform into an imaginary interpretation of nature. Dora is an active, awarded member of her community and regularly takes part in their group exhibitions every year.
