Pictures Cross here “Leap of Faith” with a white frame hanging on the wall above a couch
This motive with the title “Leap of Faith”, translated as “Leap of Faith” or “Leap of Faith”, is one of a series of three pictures with the themes: Faith – Hope – Love. The images are symbols of the three cardinal virtues of Christians, also known as the divine virtues.
“But now faith, hope, love, these three remain; but love is the greatest among them,” writes Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:13.
The painting shows a human figure that can be interpreted as jumping, but is also reminiscent of an image of the crucified man. It encourages viewers to consider the big questions of faith, courage and overcoming and gives the room a sophisticated accent.
“Leap of faith” is also a term in skate language. The “Leap of Faith” was considered the highest and most difficult gap in the world and was only completed once - by Jamie Thomas – survived without any broken bones. Jamie Thomas speaks in an interview about the fear
which he had to overcome in order to take the leap. His friend Lopez then suggested calling this jump the “Leap of Faith,” and the term has been established among skaters ever since.
Several sports, such as snowboarding or freestyle skiing, BMX, but also modern dance and even climbing, show movements that require extremely great courage. Every athlete who overcomes himself or herself and dares to move beyond his or her own previous limits,
will have a special understanding of this image.

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.
