Hartini, a
woman artist born in Central Java in the year 1959. She was a victim of
domestic violence. Many other paintings symbolically express the suffering
she has endured. "UMBRELLA 2000" signals her optimism, which expresses the spiritual state of a woman who has survived from many suffering. |

THE
SUFFERING OF WOMEN RAPED DURING WAR TIME |
||||||||
From many images coming from a war environment we see women with sad faces trying to protect their offspring by carrying their children in their arms. Women had been known to suffer atrocities during war time. Not only they suffered for the safety of their children, but they also suffered for themselves. When these women are silent, it does not mean that they did not really suffer. Often, a woman suppresses her suffering, because expressing her suffering is like breaking the only defense she knows against psychological breakdown. This happens especially if she does not receive any support from the society she lives in. In some part of the world, a raped woman is considered to be a lost soul. Her own people refuse her presence among them. Rapes of women happen all the time all over the world. Many women suffer silently because they know they have to be strong for the sake of their offspring. "I made these sketches in 1992, at the beginning of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina (the former Jugoslavia) which made my heart bled. Many women and young girls were raped." "I wanted to express the suffering and pain of these women. The images of the cross on the background of these sketches are signs of my hope in Christ." |

Religious art is not just for private enjoyment, nor for other worldly contemplation, but it has a prophetic role, since it comes from the mind of artists who touches the depths of pain and who hears the cries of the oppressed. |
