(Print on Canvas, Original 30×40cm Acrylic and Collage on Cardboard, 2017)
A regal portrait of Egypt’s last pharaoh, blending ancient symbolism with contemporary collage. Cleopatra’s gaze meets softly emerging hieroglyphs, while gold leaf accents on her headdress and collar shimmer with divine power.
Subtle brushwork around the eyes evokes intelligence and mystery, and a single cobra silhouette pays tribute to her legendary status. This award-winning piece — honored with the International Prize Raffaello & Canova and nominated for Italy’s A Design Award — celebrates Cleopatra’s enduring influence and the artist’s mastery of symbolic portraiture.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate historical depth, feminine power, and richly layered mixed-media art. Read more: https://www.urvetonnusart.eu/international-prize-raffaello-canova/
