Bold, unapologetic and a little bit fabulous, Lion Queen is a playful celebration of confidence, individuality and self-expression.
Rendered in intense layers of electric and cobalt blue, the lion commands the canvas with an unmistakable presence. Traditionally a symbol of courage and power, he has been given an unexpected twist- dramatic pink eyeshadow, long lashes and brilliant red lips bring humour, glamour and personality to his otherwise regal expression. A loosely drawn golden crown hovers above his mane, declaring his royalty without taking itself too seriously.
Expressive brushwork gives the mane movement and energy, while the deep, almost black background allows the luminous blues and playful flashes of colour to dominate. The combination of realistic animal portraiture with contemporary pop-art elements creates a work that is both striking and irreverent.
Lion Queen is about owning who you are, taking up space and wearing your crown your own way. Flamboyant, powerful and proudly individual, he celebrates the freedom to be exactly who you are. Powerful yet humorous, he is designed to command attention and bring a strong sense of personality to a room.
