“The Queen Kleopatra”

Mixed Media: Acrylic, Gold, Metallic, and Fluorescent Paints

100×75 cm

This mesmerizing mixed-media portrait of Cleopatra combines historical depth with a contemporary twist. Inspired by Julius Caesar’s own words describing Cleopatra’s luminous green eyes and radiant presence, the painting captures her intelligence, beauty, and Greek heritage with delicate yet striking details. The use of gold and metallic paints highlights her regal power, while the deep blue and white stripes nod to her role as the last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt.

What truly sets this artwork apart is its dual perspective. Under normal light, Cleopatra exudes grace and authority with her traditional Egyptian adornments. However, when viewed under ultraviolet light, the painting transforms into a vivid spectacle of glowing turquoise, bright whites, and golden radiance. This transformation embodies Cleopatra’s celestial aura and the eternal mystique surrounding her legacy.

The combination of acrylics, metallic accents, and fluorescent paints brings a multi-dimensional experience to this piece, allowing viewers to explore both the depth of Cleopatra’s storied past and the innovative artistry of the present day.
