Saint Agatha of Sicily

Project type

Oil Painting

Date

2025

Location

Netherlands

Agatha of Sicily is a painting born from place, memory, and resistance. I chose this figure of the Etna island not only for her deep roots in Sicilian history, but for what she represents today: strength in the face of violence, and solidarity with women whose bodies have been wounded and reclaimed.

Creating this painting in such a year feels particularly meaningful. It is my personal tribute to a figure who belongs not only to religious tradition, but to contemporary conversations about the female body, violence, illness, and resilience.
