Your life follows the image you have of yourself.
My art connects mythology with human identity. I create ICONIC PORTRAITS that merge people with the symbolic energies of mythological gods and goddesses. For thousands of years, these figures have represented qualities such as strength, wisdom, vitality, beauty and inner power.
Her Crown, her Rules.
Many women carry extraordinary strength, creativity and wisdom within them, yet often underestimate their own power. Because of that my work focuses especially on WOMAN and their SELF-EMPOWERMENT.
Through my art, I transform woman into modern goddesses as a reminder for their strength, beauty and inner authority.
Men as Gods
I also empower men with my portraits. By portraying them through the archetypal energy of mythological gods, they are invited to see themselves BEYOND STEREOTYPS of dominance or control. When men see themselves reflected in this kind of strength, they reconnect with their authentic power. And authentic masculine power does not diminish women — it creates the space for them to rise fully.
Your Own Altar of Strength
Every artwork is carefully refined by hand. Gold, pearls, shimmering surfaces and ornamental details give the portrait a radiant, almost sacred presence — like a contemporary ICON.
These luminous elements naturally draw attention and elevate the person portrayed, highlighting their strength, beauty and dignity. The artwork becomes more than an image: it acts as a powerful visual reminder of the inner authority and potential within.
Three Worlds of My Art
1. Divine Icon Series
This series portrays over 40 different well-known personalities as modern mythological figures. Inspired by ancient gods and goddesses, these portraits explore archetypal qualities such as strength, influence, beauty and presence.
The figures appear elevated and iconic — a contemporary interpretation of mythological power in modern culture. Each work is strictly limited and created for collectors who see art as a reflection of identity, influence and cultural symbolism.

2. "Stay Wild" Series
The Stay Wild series portrays rebellious, crowned women who embody feminine strength, freedom and unapologetic authenticity. These portraits are not meant to represent a specific person. They represent an archetype. Each figure symbolizes a version of the wild, powerful and self-determined woman that exists within many women.
Owning such a piece is not about admiring another woman. It is about recognizing yourself in her. The artwork becomes a daily reminder that you are allowed to be bold, free, creative and fully yourself.

3. Personal Icon Portraits
In addition to my series, I create personalized portraits for selected clients.
In a carefully guided process, I translate a person’s identity, character and vision into a monumental portrait inspired by mythological archetypes.
These artworks are designed to serve as powerful visual reminders of one’s strength, beauty, wisdom and potential.
Examples of commissioned portraits can be viewed here.

Margarita Gavrielova
ICONIC PORTRAIT ARTIST
My art is based on a simple idea:
The image we have of ourselves influences how we live, how we act and how much of our potential we allow ourselves to express.
Throughout history, people have used powerful symbols to represent their highest qualities. Mythological gods and goddesses were never just stories — they embodied strength, wisdom, beauty, vitality and influence.
In my work, I merge people with these archetypal energies. The result is not simply a portrait, but a powerful visual reminder of the strength, dignity and potential that already exist within them.
When someone sees themselves represented in this way, something shifts. The image becomes a daily reminder of their own presence, power and possibility.
My artistic approach grew from formal training in art, photography and graphic design, as well as years of experience in leading creative agencies in Vienna. Combined with my interest in identity and the power of mental imagery, this led to the creation of my signature style: GoddessLoveArt.
Press articles and TV appearances
My works have been featured in numerous media outlets and are part of private collections of well-known personalities like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jason Derulo.
