Eva Hodinova - Goddess Hathor

One of the most venerated goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon, the goddess is often depicted as a woman with a solar disk between the horns of a cow. Iconologically, the goddess has various attributes and roles; in fact, she is the goddess of beauty and love, of music, dance, of the sky, protector of the pharaohs, of joy and celebration. Her cult is one of the most ancient, often associated with Ra, the sun god, as his daughter. Symbolically, the solar disk with horns, the sistrum, and the menats represented music and motherhood. Her sacred animal was the cow, symbolizing motherhood, nourishment, and fertility. Artist Eva Hodinova wants to give her own interpretation, allowing the figure to be seen only through the headdress with the symbols that define her.
