Saint George, a symbol of chivalry and devotion, is one of the most well-known saints.
He stands for courage and unwavering faith in good. As a dragon slayer and martyr, he embodies the strength to face challenges and overcome them. Fearlessly, he confronted the beast, liberated the city, and defended his faith until death – a symbol of determination and steadfastness. Courage and bravery triumph even in the most difficult moments.
This expressive work of art made from red document ink combines the powerful dynamics of Georg's iconic battle with a modern aesthetic. Knights and dragons immediately captivate the eye and bring a unique combination of energy and elegance into the room. A daily inspiration,

Saint George: The Triumph over Evil and the Embodiment of Courage
Saint George, one of Christianity's most famous martyrs, has symbolized courage, fortitude and victory over evil for centuries. This extraordinary work of art combines the essence of his legend in a modern depiction: a knight on a rearing horse, defeating the dragon with his lance.
The bright red document ink on fine handmade paper enhances the dynamism of the scene and gives the image a powerful presence - ideal for rooms that are intended to radiate inspiration and strength.
The Dragon Slayer: Symbol of the Victory of Good
Legend has it that a terrifying dragon terrorized a kingdom, demanding regular sacrifices. When the king's daughter was to be sacrificed, George emerged as a savior. With unwavering courage, he confronted the dragon, slew it with his lance, and freed the city. This iconic moment makes George a symbol of the triumph of good over evil – a theme powerfully captured in this artwork.

The Martyrdom of Saint George: Steadfast in Faith
George was a Roman soldier and a devout Christian. During the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian, he steadfastly refused to worship Roman gods. For his faith, he was cruelly tortured and finally beheaded in the year 303 AD. His unwavering commitment made him a martyr and a model of steadfastness and courage.
An Artistic Tribute to Strength and Confidence.
This artwork pays homage to Saint George in a modern, poetic way. The dragon, symbolizing fear and obstacles, lies defeated on the ground, while George's dynamic posture embodies strength and determination. The red ink recalls martyrdom and simultaneously represents inexhaustible energy. As an artwork for living spaces, offices, or meditation areas, it creates an inspiring atmosphere that provides strength and confidence every day.
A Daily Companion for Inspiration and Reflection
Saint George is the patron saint of countries like England, Georgia, and Ethiopia, as well as soldiers, farmers, and horsemen. His feast day on April 23rd commemorates his deeds and his faith. This limited-edition artwork, harmoniously combining strength and hope, is more than decoration – it is a daily impulse for inner peace and determination.
Gift Idea for the Bold and Visionary
Whether as a gift for those who face challenges with determination, or as a symbol of confidence in your own home, this artwork inspires and enriches every space. Ideal for riders, soldiers, Christians, or anyone seeking strength in difficult life situations, it offers a deep, universal message: With courage and faith, every obstacle can be overcome.

Unless otherwise stated, works are delivered without frames or accessories.

Material
Red Document Ink
The motif is executed using handcrafted red document ink. The ink used originates from Germany and is produced according to traditional recipes.
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.
Handcrafted Cycle
Handcrafted Cycle
This work is part of an ongoing artistic cycle.
Each piece is created by hand and shows individual variations in line, application of colour, and expression.
The motifs are not produced in unlimited numbers. Some versions are discontinued after a certain period of time, allowing each work to retain its independence and distinctive presence.
Further versions of the same motif, as well as related works from the cycle, are available to view on request.
