Left Piece of Triptych: Faith

ABOUT FAITH

Artist: Christiane Vleugels

Land of Origin: Belgium

The triptych Faith, Hope and Love was born of the musings from the state of our world. Optimism lunges from what appears to be a cautious invitation to believe.

All the women in Christiane’s work are aware of their souls and firmly connected with Life. Faith, as portrayed here, is dressed in blue, the color of the skies and the seas. Depth and wisdom, authority and loyalty, truth and faith—most of us will, at least intuitively, know its connotations. Yet, the headdress of hydrangea adds complexity to this panel: While symbolizing heartfelt and honest emotions such as love, devotion and gratitude, this flower also represents fickleness and change of heart.

Christiane says: ” Have faith, but don’t guilt yourself when you waver. Believing in yourself can be hard. Putting your hand on your heart may help a little, or even a lot.”

ABOUT THE MASTER-GICLÉES

We use the highest possible, colour tested printing process in the IBEX ArtLab. The Master-Giclées are overseen by the artists themselves to ensure that they are exactly as the artists want them. All used materials for the Master-Giclées are acid-free, so they will not turn yellow or go brittle. We use archival pigment inks which have the longest lifespan of any ink currently known.

At IBEX, we believe in providing the highest quality Master-Giclées to match the high quality of our artists. All pieces are produced in our own print, varnishing and framing facilities in Germany. From start to finish each work of art is handled personally by a master printer with more than 20 years of experience in the fine arts.
