SACRED HEART

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

is the subject of Hildegard Mohr's masterpiece

because it represents the central message of the Catholic faith.

With her paintings she wants to give glory to Jesus Christ

and give others the opportunity

to come to know the love of God.

The cycle is painted in the Romanesque style.

The text for the images has been inspired by the writings of saints from different centuries.  It was conceived by the artist and translated into Latin by a priest.

The title of the cycle is the motto of St. Cardinal John Henry Newman:

COR AD COR LOQUITUR

Gallery

Hildegard creates mainly works of Christian art.

Stylistically, she deals with various periods

of medieval book illumination;

in addition, she also creates illustrations

for children's books and Christmas cards.

 

She is always focused on art as a means to praise God.

Therefore, she likes to make altar cards for Holy Mass

or devotional pictures of saints.

At the same time, she wants to bring joy to people

through beauty, which is why

she occasionally makes gifts,

board game illustrations, invitations and certificates. 

In her illuminations, she draws on old models,

but also rearranges them and sometimes

creates completely new designs.
