The Pharaohs explores the image of an Egyptian woman during the Pharaonic period, focusing on her clothing, personal adornment and connection with music and art. Inspired by the artist's visit to a Pharaonic museum in Egypt, the work draws upon the visual richness of ancient Egyptian culture and its representations of women.The female figure is presented through details associated with beauty, jewellery and artistic expression, highlighting the artist's interest in the position and representation of women in ancient Egyptian society. The work reflects the artist's interpretation of a historical era in which women were respected and portrayed as active participants in cultural and social life.The layered mixed-media technique combines acrylic paint, charcoal, relief elements, spray painting, collage, soft pastels and gold paper. These contrasting materials create a richly textured surface, bringing together contemporary artistic techniques with visual references to Egypt's ancient heritage. Gold accents add a sense of luminosity and connect the work to the opulence and decorative character associated with the Pharaonic period.Rather than attempting to reproduce an archaeological image, The Pharaohs presents the artist's contemporary interpretation of ancient Egyptian femininity, celebrating beauty, creativity, music, art and self-expression through the visual language of mixed media.100 x 70 cm | Mixed media on canvas | Shipped rolled in a protective tube
