Women activity on the verge of the centauries across different fields of everyday social-political aspects of life, cultural depths expressed both in the way of dressing and facial features, have resulted in a need of transforming these information into paintings – women portraits. The title of the cycle is the very definition of my actions – search to create the coveted, pinnacle picture in honor of the women, by a woman. The work consists of four handmade linocut prints.
