Description
The High Priestess No. 5 – Major Arcana belongs to a pictorial research devoted to contemporary archetypes, where the symbolic tradition of the Tarot meets a deeply current sensibility.
The gaze of the figure immediately captures the observer, establishing a silent dialogue that seems to transcend the surface of the painting. The small crimson heart placed at the center of the forehead becomes the symbol of a knowledge born from the union between intuition and feeling, transforming the face into a threshold between the visible world and the inner one.
The deep tones of blue envelop the composition like an aura, while oil painting returns a luminous, vibrant material rich in depth.
More than representing a character, this work evokes a state of being: silence, listening, mystery, and the strength of awareness.
Fully handmade, The High Priestess No. 5 is a unique work, destined for collectors who appreciate contemporary figurative painting, symbolism, and works capable of maintaining a strong aesthetic and emotional presence over time.
Nush Menna's works are part of private collections in several countries around the world, across Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Her evolving painting language is appreciated by collectors interested in the dialogue between symbolism, contemporary portraiture, and symbolic and introspective research.
Each painting by Nush Menna arises from a personal artistic journey and is made entirely by hand in a unique edition. Auctions represent an opportunity to acquire an original work by the artist, destined to enter a private collection.
Shipping
The work is protected with a professional final varnish, applied to ensure better long-term preservation.
It will be shipped rolled in a professional rigid tube, a safe method for international transport of canvases. Recyclable packing materials will be used, in an environmentally friendly manner.

Seller's Story
My painting is born from the desire to explore the human being in contemporary time, between identity, symbols, and inner transformations. I do not simply paint what I see, but what I perceive behind the image: emotions, fragility, tensions, and contradictions that belong to our era.
My work develops through a layered and slow oil technique, where every detail has a meaning and every element contributes to the narrative of the piece. The figures I paint do not represent merely individuals, but universal conditions: vulnerability, strength, loneliness, and the longing for connection.
For me painting is an act of research and authenticity, a way to restore depth in a world dominated by speed and superficial image. Through color, light, and composition I seek to create works capable of maintaining a living relationship with those who observe them over time.
My works are present in international private collections and are mainly created in oil on canvas, with a constant production and an artistic research in continual evolution.
