Aviva wrote to me that it is one of four works in which she dealt with the subject of amazons as an expression of feminine power. This project has also a reference to Merlin Monroe’s four portraits (Merlin also represents feminine power), and a reference to Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, which is also encircled.
Aviva Beigel was born in 1952 and lives in Tel Aviv, Israel.
