Mothers and grandmothers show strong women how to make their lives meaningful and make them a success. One of the great female figures in Christian tradition is Anna, the mother of Mary and therefore the grandmother of Jesus Christ. She is often depicted in pictures together with these two. She is the epitome of goodness,
at the same time also the “strong woman”. That is why she is invoked against thunderstorms and is the patroness of many guilds and guilds.

Modern women set accents with an image of Saint Anne. In doing so, you show a strong, self-confident personality, because St. Anna is considered the embodiment of these characteristics. There are many legends surrounding the popular figure from the “Holy Kinship” and festivals were celebrated in her honor for many centuries,
Churches and bells were consecrated, pilgrimages were undertaken. “The idea of the 'mulier fortis', the strong woman, promoted by the readings of the liturgy on St. Anne's Day, made her the patroness of guilds and of traders and business people, she was invoked to increase wealth,” writes the Heiligenlexikon.

The application consists of genuine 23-karat double ducat gold leaf from the Austrian Mint.
In addition, I use digital elements, for example in the lettering, which is applied to the paper with conventional printer ink using a complex process and represents the computer technology of our time.
Each artwork is unique. My own techniques allow the creation of similar works, but never identical ones.
I sign each sheet by hand (pencil, monogram WR for Wonnereich, or UR for Ulrike Rainer), sometimes on the reverse. A certificate card with details on materials and technique is included.
Handwork & Handmade Paper
I create the artworks by hand in mixed media on fine handmade paper. The paper is slightly cream-coloured and features irregular, hand-torn edges.
This edge structure is material-related and gives each artwork an individual character. For this reason, the dimensions of the works may vary slightly.
The usual formats are approx. A4 (approx. 21 × 28 cm or 8,3 x 11,0 in) or approx. A5 (approx. 19 × 15 cm or 7,5 x 5,9 in), depending on execution and availability.
Unless otherwise stated, the handmade paper used comes from paper mills in Italy or Spain, regions with some of the oldest paper-making traditions in Europe.
On Iron
Upon request, the artwork is presented on iron.
The iron works are made of controlled rusted iron with a material thickness of approx. 0.5 to 1 mm, depending on availability. The rusting process is initiated by hand, then stopped, and the surface is sealed.
Patterning and rust structure vary, as does the coloration, ranging from silvery-grey tones to reddish-brown hues.
Unless otherwise stated, the artwork is mounted using the included magnets. In individual cases, the work is screwed.
Iron works are generally centrally pre-drilled and prepared for wall mounting, except for larger formats (e.g. 40 × 50 cm). These are not pre-drilled, as their weight does not allow mounting with a single nail.
Special requests (e.g. without pre-drilling) are possible depending on availability.
Note: The image shown represents an example from the respective series. Rust structure, coloration, and mounting method may vary depending on the individual execution.
