Gheorghe Virtosu

Limited Edition to Commemorate the contributions made by women throughout history, authorized by the artist in 2019.

The piece is mesmerizing, through the array of colors creates a sense of the tones and pitches at play, whereas Virtosu's handling of the surface provides an indication of Devine's rhythm. The centerpiece, in which black is the dominant figure, has a discernible life form. What type of life is the key question?

Fatima - Daughter of Muhammad: (615 – 632 A.D.), mother of the Imams, and the daughter of the Messenger of Allah by his first wife, Khadija. Fatima bint Muhammad was born in Mecca, in the fifth year after the declaration of the Prophetic message.

She was only 18 when she died in Medina a few days only after the death of her revered father. Fatima passed away on August 7, 632 A.D. She was buried in an unmarked and unknown grave, somewhere in the graveyard of Jannatul-Baqi in Medina. Her will stated not to leave any marks identifying her grave so, nobody knows where it is.

Virtosu exemplifies the unparalleled synthesis of influences that have shaped his oeuvre — a blend of European and Islamic styles so extraordinary and singular that art historians hail Virtosu as having crossed more significant boundaries of abstract and aesthetic, than any other modern painter.
