Queen Elizabeth

All my work is done using the technique called collage (from the French coller), which translates “to paste,” which is an artistic technique that consists of the construction of plastic works through the agglomeration or conjunction of pieces or cutouts from different origins, “trying” to give a unified tone format. In other words, it is about assembling work with bits obtained from other sources such as photographs, illustrations, Artcraft, images in magazines, and everyday objects.
On a personal level, my artistic style is deeply rooted in Kitsch, a style known for its vibrant colors, bold shapes, and striking elements. I often incorporate illustrations from the public domain into my work. My fascination with antiquities and furniture is a recurring theme, evident in the costumes of my characters and the environments where my works’ narratives unfold.
My image sources can include images and cuttings from very old magazines that are passed through a scanner to be processed into digital format. Therefore, it is very possible that the final prints do not have uniform images and can have different textures.

The image is a striking and unconventional portrait of a regal woman, reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth II, presented in a unique and contemporary style that merges traditional portraiture with modern street art aesthetics. The composition is both visually engaging and thought-provoking, blending elements of classical royalty with bold, contemporary art forms.
At the center of the image is the woman, portrayed in a formal pose that exudes elegance and authority. She is dressed in a sophisticated black strapless gown adorned with intricate embroidery. Around her neck is a pearl necklace, and she wears a glittering tiara that adds to her regal appearance. Her hair is styled in a classic fashion, further emphasizing the traditional aspects of her portrayal.
The background of the image is a vibrant explosion of color and texture, reminiscent of abstract expressionism and street art. The backdrop features splashes and drips of bright colors—pinks, yellows, blues, and greens—creating a dynamic and energetic atmosphere. This colorful chaos contrasts with the monochrome tattoos and the formal attire of the subject, highlighting the collision of different artistic styles and eras.
The abstract background is created using a combination of techniques, including splattering, dripping, and layering of paint, which gives it a spontaneous and lively feel. This modern, expressive background serves as a stark contrast to the composed and serene expression of the woman, enhancing the overall impact of the portrait.
Her gaze is calm and steady, conveying a sense of poise and confidence. Despite the unconventional elements of the portrait, her demeanor remains dignified and composed, reflecting the qualities traditionally associated with royalty.
This image is a powerful commentary on the intersection of tradition and modernity, authority and individuality. It invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of iconic figures and to appreciate the complex narratives that define their legacy. The use of vibrant colors, abstract techniques, and detailed tattoos transforms a conventional portrait into a statement piece that celebrates diversity, creativity, and the continuous evolution of cultural symbols.
