Queen

Queen, 2-Dimensional Art
Queen
Capturing the essence of maternity in a unique perspective, this painting unveils a compelling portrayal of a gravid Sphynx cat. Mirroring human pregnancy symptoms, the queen exhibits changes in her body akin to breast development and weight gain. The repetitive imagery, reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, swirls selectively around the feline, creating a mesmerizing visual narrative. Framing the figure, is gold-leaf-like paint in an off center rectangle in order to create movement in the eye of the viewer, searching to make sense when there is no sense to be had. The exhausted countenance of the cat conveys a sense of weariness and utilization, inviting viewers to contemplate the shared experiences of motherhood across species.
