About The Artwork
The work, signed by the artist on the front and back of the work, is accompanied by the Certificate of Authenticity and Originality, signed by the artist and notarized. The work "Victory of Samothrace" was made by the artist for her series of works entitled "Divas", which shows not only beauty, but also the power and strength of women in all fields of life, above all, their strength spiritual and mystical to transform the world.In this work, the artist alludes to the majesty and victory in a woman's life, through her empowerment and the sacred feminine, using the important statue "Victory of Samothrace" (today in the Louvre Museum). Victory of Samothrace is a famous sculpture from antiquity, which was created around 190 BC and is 3.28 meters tall. The dating is uncertain, but the work has many features attributed to the Hellenistic period. Some of the characteristics of this period include dramatic, theatrical and emotional art. Carved in white marble from Paros, the work depicting the form of a winged woman is at the same time intriguing, perhaps because the sculpture lacks the key pieces. (head and arms) thus causing a sense of mystery. The movement of both wings and the dress billowing in the wind give the work an inspiring element. It is believed that this statue represented a figure on the bow of a warship to commemorate the victory of a naval battle. Therefore, Victoria is the goddess of victories. In 1864, it was acquired by the Museum of the Louvre, this beautiful sculpture is in a prominent place on a staircase in the Museum, which provides a perfect point of view to view it. It is positioned outside the Grand Gallery, which houses all of the Italian Renaissance paintings. The visitor's view of the work as they climb the stairs only adds to the majestic feeling of the work.

Participa e divulga seu trabalho através de Galerias no Brasil e Europa e tem suas obras catalogadas em publicações de arte no Brasil, EUA e Europa. “Fatima Marques traz em seu trabalho a marca de uma aguda sensibilidade artística, que dá vida e energia as suas figuras atemporais, numa sábia relação entre o clássico e o contemporâneo. É antes de mais nada uma artista com um domínio natural de técnicas como pouco visto hoje. Seu trabalho também está intrinsicamente associado ao sentir, na busca de uma linguagem pessoal e de um eixo temático afinado com sua sensibilidade feminina. É uma artista da técnica com emoção”.(Mali Frota Villas Bôas-historiadora e crítica de arte) “Fatima Marques revela em suas obras a grandiosidade de sua arte, bela, detalhada e primorosa e ao mesmo tempo de inspiração marcadamente poética. A artista deixa-se influenciar tanto pelos pintores renascentistas quanto pelos contemporâneos, embora na busca de um estilo sofisticado e de técnica apurada. A intenção decorativa em sua obra não a impede de limitar seus requintes estéticos deixando sobressair o calor humano de uma forma viva, espontânea e concisa... “ (Emanuel von Lauenstein Massarani - Crítico de arte e presidente do IPH Instituto de Recuperação do Patrimônio Histórico no Estado de São Paulo) Contato: e-mail: famarques_29@hotmail.com site: www.fatimamarques.com Instagram: @famarques_art
