Anubis

by Rhonda Libbey

Anubis the most recognizable god of the Egyptian pantheon, but did you also know:

The ancient Egyptians believed that at the end of your life in the underworld the god Anubis would place the heart of the deceased on some special scales to be weighed against the feather of Ma’at which represents the Truth. A heart which was unworthy would be devoured by the goddess Ammit and the owner would be condemned to wander forever in the Duat, which is a sort of in-between place of the underworld.

Artwork is oil and 24 karat gold leaf on a Human Heart shaped panel of wood – signed by the artist and ready to hang.

Hello! I'm Rhonda Libbey, and Imaginative Realism artist and illustrator. I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania with my wonderfully supportive boyfriend and two silly ferrets.

I grew up in an unusual old farmhouse where the decor was lavish and art nouveau. I was surrounded by stylized beauty indoors and natural beauty outdoors. I began my artistic journey when I was 6 years old, beginning with drawing, and I have never stopped. To be an artist is the only thing I ever wanted to be, it is the only way I have ever known.

I have been a professional illustrator and graphic designer since 1996 and I have had the good fortune to work on some cool projects and I have shown in some great galleries.

My most recent works are created traditionally in oil paint and gold leaf, with oil paint layered in glazes on top of the metal to achieve a luminous effect. I am drawn to the contrasts of delicate and bold that both oil paint and gold leaf possess.
