Voltaire again: "to think of virginity as a virtue--and not a barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge-- is an infantile superstition."

I just found a perfect quote by Voltaire: "nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense."

Porte de l'Eternité

Porte de l'Eternite, watercolor and lace.
If you think that watercolor and lace doesn't make sense, look at the picture more carefully. I spent a month in Budapest, painting watercolors on a studio next to a Swedish artist who worked with wood, old chairs, wax, ancient books, a lace umbrella, wire, etc. One day, inspired by her mixed media, I decided to try this: I painted a series of watercolors of balconies, gates, and I used lace and other media to depict part of the picture. These are the gates of the cemetery in Gavarnie, France, painted with Winsor and Newton watercolors over a Hungarian hand- made paper. Hand made lace has been glued to parts of the gate.
