« HER MAJESTY » – 48” X 48” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas.
This commissioned piece definitely has an English feel. The bronze crowns symbolize British royalty. You can also find a map and logo of the London Tube (metro subway system), David Beckham’s # 7 Jersey (Manchester United), and London’s shared bicycle system. The owners of this work, being quite cosmopolitan, are characterized with many hints of their journeys. To capture their attachment to Montenegro and Serbia, an olive tree branch extends from our muse’s mouth. If you look closely, you will also find a Swiss flag, a Canadian penny (now discontinued), and textured fabrics from my mother-in-law (New-Brunswick, Canada) to remind them of their stays in these countries.
