Measuring 90 cm (Height) x 70 cm (Width), the work is executed on canvas board, allowing for a dense and highly saturated application of colour that radiates with an inner luminosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe central figure is a queenly visage rendered in a spectrum of bold primaries—deep blues, radiant yellows, and burning oranges—suggesting a persona forged from light and elemental energy. She is adorned with an intricate, sculptural headpiece featuring turquoise horns and a central geometric diamond, grounding her in a regal, symbolic tradition. Her steady, blue-eyed gaze creates a direct and powerful connection with the viewer, exuding confidence and ancestral authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe background is an explosion of swirling, psychedelic patterns in gold and orange that mimic the flow of hair or solar flares, further elevating the subject beyond the mundane. Smith’s use of high-contrast palettes and fluid, rhythmic brushwork transforms the portrait into a celebration of cultural identity and spiritual strength. This piece serves as a magnificent statement work, bringing warmth, energy, and a sense of modern majesty to any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Shipping available at Checkout - all works are shipped in a secure wooden crate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Partners Online Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52981147271484,"sku":"ART254","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/5057\/2860\/files\/African_Queen_70_x_90cm_Oil_on_canvas_board.png?v=1776121897","url":"https:\/\/partnersonlinegallery.com\/products\/african-queen-tharien-smith","provider":"Partners Online Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
