A Message From Zeena: "In celebration of Harvest Season and the coming Autumn Equinox, I am very happy to share with you a newly created fine art portrait of me as the Angel of Death by the very talented artist and friend Fabiano Gagliano. All of Gagliano's works are timeless depictions of feminine beauty at its highest spiritual ideal (a phenomenon I've coined in my book Demons of the Flesh as “the Feminine Daemonic”). His style has been honed over decades and is refreshingly free of any distractions, distortions or irritations of modern art trends or references. The minimalist, streamlined presentation and choice of colors is confident yet sensitive and beautifully classical without clichés. "Aside from our mutual appreciation for the same aesthetics in traditional art, and our similar histories as graphic artists for publications and band art, Gagliano is also a long-time accomplished musician and has traversed a kindred musical path as I; it's through oblique music connections from our past bands that we came to know each other. So when he asked to do a new rendition of an established photo-portrait of me, I knew that in his case it was a perfect suggestion. Based on his art education, experience, intuition and instinct, he understood not only my personal tastes but the significance and layers of the symbolism in the portrait he proposed, as it relates to my life's work.
The Augustinian quote he chose to include in the portrait, says it all: Noli foras ire, in te ipsum redi. In interiore homine habitat veritas. 'Don't lose yourself with the outside; return within. Truth dwells inside the human heart.' (loosely translated) This scripture could also be understood as the Method which leads to spiritual Enlightenment, known in many mystical traditions variously as: Primoridial Wisdom (Vajrayana Buddhism), the Gnostics understanding of Sophia, the Quest for the Holy Grail and the process of Internal Alchemy. Thanks to Fabiano for his inner wisdom to “see” what many cannot see, and to hopefully inspire others to “see,” with all senses, the magic of feminine beauty in all of his works - and all of life as well... ~Omnia Vincit Amor~ ~Zeena " ___________ To see more of Fabiano Gagliano's work, visit his online sites at: www.fabianogagliano.com https://www.instagram.com/fabiano_gagliano/ https://www.facebook.com/FabianoGaglianoArtPage/?pnref=lhc https://it.pinterest.com/fabiano777/

HEMET NETER TEPI SETH - ZEENA SCHRECK T-SHIRT
€23.00 Brought to you by HEINZFELLER NILEISIST, the same artist who presented The Zaum of Zeena at the 2015 NY Art Book Fair. Designed by Frank Haines in cooperation with Zeena, this art t-shirt is a companion piece to The Zaum of Zeena art-zine and was first presented at the LA Art Book Fair 2016. ORDER HERE ![]() Brought to you by HEINZFELLER NILEISIST, the same artist who presented The Zaum of Zeena at last year's NY Art Book Fair. Designed by Frank Haines in cooperation with Zeena, this fashion-art t-shirt is a companion piece to The Zaum of Zeena art-zine. Launched in time for Valentine's Day and Lupercalia, this garment is no ordinary t-shirt. It's a magical talisman combining all the symbolism necessary to foster blissful union of the initiate's inner male-female erotic-war deity energies represented by Seth and His secret consort Inanna and presided over by their High Priestess in this era, Zeena. The human mind is always at war with itself because the inner masculine-feminine polarities are not united but divided. As a result, the inner conflicts translate to outer destructive behavior and actions. Donning this article of clothing should be regarded as a ritual homage to the wearer's yet-to-be indestructible, non-dual state of perfect peace and spiritual completion (Š-L-M ). A reminder that Liberation and Enlightenment comes when opposing forces become one. For those not well versed in tantric practices, Gnosticism, ancient mythology and Magical Theurgy, it's also just a damn cool design to have in your collection! *After the official release at the LA Art Book Fair, it will be available in Featured Products on this site. If you are in L.A., be among the first to get one at the HEINZFELLER NILEISIST booth X21 http://laartbookfair.net/about/ Preview: Thursday, February 11, 6–9 pm Printed Matter’s LA ART BOOK FAIR, free and open to the public: Friday February 12, 1pm-6pm Saturday February 13, 11am-7pm Sunday February 14, 11am-6pm The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA 152 North Central Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 626-6222 moca.org Girl Group'Dennis' inspired to create a James-Bond-like theme song in homage to Zeena's previous incarnation:
