We are excited to announce the upcoming release of an exclusive limited edition print by Delia Hamer, coinciding with her latest exhibition, ‘Rinse My Soul’, in RHODES Project Room. This special release is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Hamer's transformative new series, which delves into themes of water, spiritual renewal, and personal metamorphosis. ‘IL BALLO DELLA VITA’ is an exclusive print recreation of one of Hamer’s most popular works to date.
‘Rinse My Soul’ explores the deep connections between water and spiritual renewal, focusing on the symbolic acts of cleansing and regeneration. Drawing inspiration from rituals such as Christian baptism and the ancient Eleusinian mysteries, Hamer uses water as a medium for transformation, shedding the old to embrace the new.

Hamer's dreamscapes are painted in Mediterranean hues—azure blues, verdant greens, and fiery oranges—creating timeless scenes that evoke both nostalgia and immediacy. These landscapes are populated by solitary female figures with closed eyes, suggesting a retreat into inner worlds of reflection and serenity. These figures, often nude and powerful in their vulnerability, stand as symbols of the human soul in states of introspection.
This exclusive limited-edition print captures the essence of Hamer's new series, featuring the lush, textured scenes and contemplative female figures that define ‘Rinse My Soul’. This print offers a window into Hamer's rich visual language, blending mythology and personal memory to create a shared human experience. ‘IL BALLO DELLA VITA’ was originally showcased in the Maāt Gallery in Paris. With deep reds and gold leaf, this ‘Dance of Life’ encompasses the range of Hamer’s key themes in one image – it is true signature of her style.

As ‘Dance of Life’ suggests, this piece is truly a celebration of life - our eyes are drawn to the belly of the woman and wonder of the new child she’ll bring. Being a new mother herself, Hamer is extremely connected to the spiritual and cyclical nature of the body. Through regeneration and the clear bond between the two figures, submerged in water and firmly hand in hand, feelings of security and rebirth reaches into the viewer. This piece is a celebration of connection, family, the body and spirituality.
The limited-edition print will be available exclusively through RHODES Editions. This release offers collectors and admirers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hamer's most popular work so far.
