“Wise Women” Portraits

Art by Lori Vafiades


Lori designed these special works using public domain images of Pre-Raphaelite art and graphic overlays as well as her own paintings. One of the portraits can take 8 hours to create using graphic applications. There can be 50 layers of images.


Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Art:

In 1848, as revolutions swept continental Europe and an uprising for social reform known as Chartism unsettled Britain, seven rebellious young artists in London formed a secret society with the aim of creating a new British art. They called themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

The works of the Pre-Raphaeliteans were characterized by minute description of detail, a luminous palette of bright colors that recalls the tempera paint used by medieval artists, and subject matter of a noble, religious, or moralizing nature. In mid-nineteenth-century England, a period marked by political upheaval, mass industrialization, and social ills, the Brotherhood at its inception strove to transmit a message of artistic renewal and moral reform by imbuing their art with seriousness, sincerity, and truth to nature.


Those who look closely will find many hidden symbols in each portrait. Here are a few used in this series of art.
