Giving gifts that make an impact and reflect your values.
Whether as a heartfelt Christmas card, an elegant New Year’s greeting, or a personal thank-you note throughout the year, this set of art cards combines aesthetic appeal with a strong commitment to human rights.
A closer look at the two works of art:
1. Sliman Mansour (Palestine) – «Symbol of Hope» (1985)
The renowned Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour is known worldwide for his striking depictions of «Sumud»—peaceful steadfastness and resilience. In «Symbol of Hope,» a white dove carrying an olive branch hovers above a nighttime cityscape against a luminous, sun-like aura. In his works, Mansour consistently highlights the central role of women, who—even under the most difficult living conditions—protect their communities, keep them united, and sustain hope for safety and peace.
2. Lauren Wright Pittman (USA) – «Mary’s Song» (2016)
In her vibrantly colored work, artist Lauren Wright Pittman reimagines the biblical «Magnificat» (Mary’s song of praise from the Gospel of Luke) for the present day. The painting depicts Mary embraced by the swirling blue of creation. She weaves joy, passion, and uncertainty into a powerful song of hope. Wright Pittman breaks with the traditional portrayal of Mary as a quiet, passive observer and instead depicts her as a self-determined, active woman who raises her voice and stands up for a just future.
