On the occasion of the festivities of Salambó, another name of Aphrodite, which was celebrated in Seville from July 17 to 19, the devotees of this oriental divinity made a procession with the idol[1]; they go imitating the anguish of Aphrodite when she mourned the death of her beloved Adonis, killed by Ares transformed into a wild boar. [2] They went from house to house asking for a donation; when they arrived at the house of Justa and Rufina, they asked for some vases of flowers to be used for the "gardens of Adonis". The refusal of the potters resulted in the destruction of their goods, and they, in turn, destroyed the idol.[1] The governor Diogenianus tortured them.
The Diogenian governor tortured them on the rack and with iron hooks; they were put in prison and starved. Then they were forced to walk barefoot through bad soil to Sierra Morena, but they resisted without giving in despite their bleeding feet. Justina died in prison because of her weakness and her body was thrown into a well to prevent Christians from worshipping her. Rufina was taken to the amphitheater of Italica to be torn to pieces by a lion; but the pagans were astonished to see that the beast became tame and lay down beside her. Diogeniano ordered her beheaded and her body was burned.

José Gislero is a Swiss painter who focuses on sensual, spiritual art. He lives and works between two islands: Switzerland, the island in the middle of the European Union and Cuba the communist island in the Caribbean Sea.
José is convinced of the power of art to unite and harmonize the opposites of our world. Both are interdependent, both are firmly connected and interact.
He paints to create peace and balance.
His series of paintings are often like short stories or painted prayers. His style oscillates between figurative and expressionistic. His works blend both the material and spiritual world.
Although he has a degree in engineering and marketing, he has always been fascinated by art. His many long stays abroad awakened his special commitment and interest in third world issues. Peoples and cultures marginalized by 'civilization' and on the brink of extinction.
