New artwork “Queens’ games”

New artwork “Queens’ games” is added to the site.

All girls dream of being princesses and all ladies thinks of themselves as queens. I covered the shaped box with a picture of a quartet of Queens from cards, where each of them is a chief queen.

Queens appeared in a deck of cards in England in the XVIII century.  My work follows the costumes, the hairstyles, the funny divinations by cards, books, coffee and music. What Queen to be – of Spades, Clubs, Diamonds or Hearts – is an individual choice.

The surface plays due to the use of nacre, and the cross-cutting technique adds depth and enhances the  decorativeness of the image.
