The Prize

Lisa Junius, "Moon Power", 2020.

Oil and acrylic on canvas, 80x100 cm.

Lisa Junius is a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and designer. Born and raised in Luxembourg, where she lives and works, she obtained a diploma in Fine Arts and Art Research from the University of Strasbourg in 2016. Since then she has worked as an artist and her studio is located at the Creative Hub 1535 ° in Differdange.

"Lisa Junius believes there is a magical link between women and the moon. Every month women are in fact reminded of this link with menstrual cycles that are both mystical and the most natural thing in the world. The work of this artist is completely focused on the color blue, women and the magic of nature. From paintings to ceramics, from sculptures to textile works, she uses all kinds of materials to create a world full of tranquility, like a dream floating in space".

This artwork is part of the Viva la Vulva by Nuvenia project: a collective exhibition by international artists that aims to break down taboos linked to the female body in conjunction with an online charity auction in favor of the Italian Red Cross. The works will be on display at Six Gallery in Milan from 9 to 11 October.

"We are born free from taboos. We live in a society that forces them upon us, feeding stereotypes. Talking about them helps to break them down and learn to accept each other: because we are all perfect precisely because we are different".

The purchase of unique items through an auction house requires careful evaluation by the buyer. We invite you to personally examine all the information and material at your disposal, including our returns policy, before proceeding with purchase.

The Cause

The Italian Red Cross has been in the front line since the beginning of the alert regarding Covid-19 taking multiple actions such as emergency services, health services, psychological support, logistics, informative activities, surveillance activities, health screenings and giving substantial support for crucial activities to help fighting against the outbreak that is putting our Nation in a very difficult situation.

In partnership with the Public Health Department and Civil Protection Department, the ItRC is safely managing the transport of potentially suspect cases to health facilities and of positive cases in need of transfer to predisposed structures or in case of hospital discharge to provide care at home.

Through regional Emergency Units the Italian Red Cross is coordinating the logistic support of pre-triage activities, which are predisposed by the main hospitals with the aim to identify any new positive cases before they enter the emergency room, and home health care services.

We should never forget that the people are at the heart of our vision and of our actions and in this emergency situation, we have chosen to inaugurate the new motto “tempo della gentilezza” (time of kindness): the ItRC has intensified all services on national territory dedicated to support the most vulnerable community members: these services include home deliveries of groceries, medicines and essential goods and social transport if needed.
