Description from the seller
About the work
In this work, GYL imagines the last sovereign of a vanished empire, guardian of a splendor that time has never erased. Her calm, inscrutable gaze traverses the centuries as a halo of gold, inspired by Byzantine iconography, elevates her to the rank of a timeless figure.
Rubies, omnipresent, symbolize power, passion and the permanence of great civilizations. Scarlet draperies respond to the richness of golds in a composition of remarkable visual intensity, where the realism of the portrait dialogues with an almost sacred dimension.
This original creation by GYL illustrates her taste for female portraits imbued with nobility, mystery and light. A work that will appeal to lovers of contemporary figurative painting, Byzantine aesthetics and symbolism.
