A long journey through the desert lies behind Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, because a powerful star drew them almost magnetically to this stable near Bethlehem. There they place valuables in front of a manger: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Gifts for Jesus the Lord. This mural represents the exciting journey in an abstract form.

The image of the famous journey of three wise men from the Orient impresses with its simple, minimalist depiction, which leaves room for interpretation and always appears differently thanks to the material - real gold. The precious gold develops its expressiveness depending on the incidence of light and the viewing angle.
The three wise men are considered to bring blessings par excellence and embody internationality, cosmopolitanism, willingness to adventure and wisdom. Modern Christian art, a timeless mural that is a unique eye-catcher and fits all interior styles.
Modern Christian art by Atelier Wonnereich framed
Just as this picture fits many furnishing styles, classic and contemporary, romantic, Scandi style, vintage, loft style or trendy industrial style, it also looks great in a wide variety of frames. Whether it's simple, puristic,
opulent baroque or the specially designed Atelier Wonnereich plate frames, this picture attracts attention and interest. It is designed in such a way that you can hardly go wrong with the frame. In the wide black frame on a dark background, it develops an almost mystical aura,
a white frame emphasizes the delicacy of the picture. Depending on your preference, you can use a specific frame to emphasize your style. Framed with reclaimed wood and hanging next to the tiled stove, it adds finesse to rustic country house settings and shows the individuality of the residents.

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.
