About the artwork

Being a mother myself, I was very pleased to get asked to design the stamp for the 100th anniversary of the Luxembourg Association of Midwives. I believe their role in supporting natural birth is very important and I appreciate to be able to contribute to this important topic.

The design shows a woman giving birth in an upright (natural) position. She is being supported by a midwife (on the left) and her partner, friend or family member (on the right). The woman is not entirely visible; it is like we get to peek at the intimate event of giving birth. The colours are powerful, representing the female body during child birth. The leaves are those of the 'lady's mantle'; an Important medicinal plant of midwifery.

Les photographes de notre exposition

Raymond Clement

born in 1944 in Luxembourg, has been a photographer since almost 50 years. His black and white portraits of famous jazz musicians from the Seventies are internationally appreciated. Photo exhibitions with large-format pictures in Europe and the United States were the next step. In 1980 his first volume of photographs was published by "Nouvelles Editions Parisiennes". Raymond Clement then uses the big size panoramic format, in particular the 8x10 wooden viewcamera. Today he goes digital,too

Jessica Theis

Born in Luxembourg in 1981, like so many I got my first camera for my first communion. What started as a hobby quickly developped into a real passion. Quite early it became clear that this was to become my profession. After graduating I went to study Photo-design in Germany, started working as freelance photo assistant in Cologne and returned to Luxembourg in 2005 to work as an independent photographer. Since, I have been doing commercial shots for advertising agencies as well as magazines and companies. I'm specialized in portraits, architecture and photo report.
