Icoa is a work by Ana Deji, depicting halo, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows a woman in bright colors holding a child, with two smaller figures reaching toward her. The background is packed with stars, leaves, and bold patterns in red, blue, and green. The woman wears a striped dress and a headwrap, while the figures around her have simple, rounded faces and halos. The halos around the heads are a common way to show holy figures in religious art. The bright colors and flat shapes give it a folk-art feel. Check out how halo symbols work in religious paintings next.
