Etching on her Heart 2019

"Etching on her Heart" (2019) by Jana Brike, a contemporary artist known for her striking and often unsettling figurative work, depicts a woman holding a white unicorn. The woman's expression is enigmatic, and her body bears subtle signs of injury, adding to the sense of unease in the composition. The unicorn, a symbol of purity and innocence, appears vulnerable in her grasp, creating a complex interplay between beauty, pain, and the fragility of life. This artwork is a compelling example of Brike's signature style, which combines meticulous realism with a touch of the surreal.
