A portrait suspended somewhere between strength and unravelling.
Part of the Queens of Chaos series, this original painting explores the tension between fragility and power, the quiet weight carried beneath composure. Layers of charcoal black, ash greys and muted golds are built up and stripped back repeatedly, allowing the figure to emerge slowly through texture, drips and instinctive mark making.
Nothing in these works in polished of fixed. Each Queen feels weathered, human and unresolved in her own way.
This piece was created intuitively using layered mixed media, expressive line work and raw surface textures, allowing traces of previous decisions to remain visible beneath the final image.
