Carrying The Cross

Private collection
My name is Ramon Martinez. I work with experimental art in video, photography, 3D art, 3D animations, etc. about the subject the crucified female Christ.
I've started my art project since early 2005 and I've named my art project "Passion Of A Goddess".
"Many artists during the past 2000 years have been interested in the picture of a crucified Jesus. One of the reasons is probably that this subject offers a lot of symbolic value as well as possibilities to manifest different expressions. Although the question raised is why these artefacts are always male? In a few cases, Jesus portraitures as a female raise negative consequences from the conservative parts of the church. The idea that God can only be a man is an idea created in a society with male dominance. I would like to develop the idea that giving God a sex is not honest. These believers of the idea that God can only be represented as a man disregard the female half of the world´s population. And also its in my belief that a woman has greater ability to give love than a man. Christ represents the great love."
My art project tries also, to fight religious intransigence that tries to coerce the freedom of expression and individual freedoms recognized in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. More on Ramon Martinez

Frantisek Drtikol (1883-1961)

Private collection
František Drtikol (3 March 1883, Příbram – 13 January 1961, Prague) was a Czech photographer of international renown. He is especially known for his characteristically epic photographs, often nudes and portraits. From 1907 to 1910 he had his own studio, until 1935 he operated an important portrait photostudio in Prague. Drtikol made many portraits of very important people and nudes which show development from pictorialism and symbolism to modern composite pictures of the nude body with geometric decorations and thrown shadows, where it is possible to find a number of parallels with the avant-garde works of the period. These are reminiscent of Cubism, and at the same time his nudes suggest the kind of movement that was characteristic of the futurism aesthetic.

He began using paper cut-outs in a period he called "photopurism". These photographs resembled silhouettes of the human form. Later he gave up photography and concentrated on painting. After the studio was sold Drtikol focused mainly on painting, Buddhist religious and philosophical systems. In the final stage of his photographic work Drtikol created compositions of little carved figures, with elongated shapes, symbolically expressing various themes from Buddhism. In the 1920s and 1930s, he received significant awards at international photo salons. More on František Drtikol

Lucia
Private collection
Lucia is an ancient mythical figure with an abiding role as a bearer of light in the dark Swedish winters.
The Lucia tradition can be traced back both to St Lucia of Syracuse, a martyr who died in 304, and to the Swedish legend of Lucia as Adam’s first wife. It is said that she consorted with the Devil and that her children were invisible infernals. Thus the name may be associated with both lux (light) and Lucifer (Satan), and its origins are difficult to determine. The present custom appears to be a blend of traditions. More on Lucia

Étude de la Crucifixion
Private collection
"Photography has been my passion ever since I can remember. Once upon a time, when one had to feed cameras with film, I loved taking photos. Back then, every "click" mattered. Just after I bought my first digital camera, I realized that "clicks" were not so important anymore – at least not to me. Hence, I concluded that this new-age medium was not my cap of tea. Yet, my passion for photography has never ceased to burn inside me, despite the fact I am no longer a photographer, not only because I don't feel like taking digital photographs, but also because I can't afford to hire models or to set up a lab or a studio.
Instead, I use the digital instruments of our age to create my photo-collages, using the artwork of great photographers, some famous, others totally unknown to the general public, including at times to myself. Some people get furious with me because I "don’t have the right to use photographs without the consent of the creators". The fact that some of these great artists can't be asked because they have already passed away is irrelevant, since lawyers continue to stand by their bygone spirits! Legally speaking, this is probably a well-founded argument, although in my "legal" opinion, my work is an original derivative, as is L.H.O.O.Q. by Marcel Duchamp, considered a monumental work of art of our time, despite the fact that Duchamp never bothered to ask permission of Leonardo da Vinci's legal representatives [sic] to draw a mustache and beard in pencil on the Mona Lisa’s face, nor did he hesitate to append the title of the famous masterpiece!

Cindy Sherman
Untitled (Madonna), c. 1975
7 x 5 in (17.78 x 12.7 cm)
Gelatin silver print
Savannah College of Art and Designs
“In this black-and-white portrait, Sherman plays the role of the Madonna. Although she is shrouded in a white veil like a classically rendered religious figure, Sherman’s elongated eyelashes, accentuated lips and pomaded dual horn-like curls peeking out from beneath her veil play with the traditional historic depiction. Her stylized image could be a reference to the “new woman” of the 1920s whose liberated views on sexuality are in direct opposition to the virginal, biblical Madonna. Reprinted in the 1990s, the portrait may also be considered a reference to the contemporary and controversial pop singer of the same name.” More on this photograph

Untitled (Judith?)
from the History portraits series, 1990
Chromogenic color print

The Museum of Modern Art
Judith looks boldly out at her audience and presents the head of Holofernes in her right hand, displaying the dagger she used to decapitate him in her left. She is garbed in billowing red, blue, and green drapery and stands in front of a curtain made of pieces of brocaded and patterned fabric. Her head is tilted slightly to her left, much like the heroines in paintings by Botticelli; she likewise stands on a carpet of green grass speckled with flowers. But unlike Botticelli’s pristine and idealized nudes, Judith’s makeup is heavy-handed, almost tacky. The fabrics that at first seem to glimmer are, upon closer inspection, chintzy and cheap. And Holofernes’ head, which is usually frightening and powerful, looks like a used Halloween mask. More on this work
Cynthia Morris Sherman (born 1954) is an American artist whose work consists primarily of photographic self-portraits, depicting herself in many different contexts and as various imagined characters.
Her breakthrough work is often considered to be the collected Untitled Film Stills, a series of 70 black-and-white photographs of herself evoking typical female roles in performance media (especially arthouse films and popular B-movies). In the 1980s, she used color film and large prints, and focused more on costume, lighting and facial expression. More on Cynthia Morris Sherman

He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known for his pioneering photography, and was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. He is also noted for his work with photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself. More on Man Ray
