Title
Queen Nefertiti
Artist
Anthony Mwangi
Medium
Painting - Impasto
Description
Nefertiti was an Egyptian queen and the Great Royal Wife (chief consort) of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. An Egyptian queen renowned for her beauty, Nefertiti ruled alongside her husband.
Little is known about the origins of Nefertiti, but her legacy of beauty and power continue to intrigue scholars today. Her name is Egyptian and means "a beautiful woman has come." Some evidence suggests that she hailed from the town Akhmim and is the daughter or niece of a high official named Ay. Other theories have suggested that she was born in a foreign country, possibly Syria.
All in all. This was in Egypt. This is a true African heritage. In this painting I have used several abstract colors to portray this beauty.

Colourful , Anthony! so beautifully done .. Nefertiti is often portrayed in deep, somber tones & your artwork displays another side of her ... her elegance is portrayed in Living Colour, a regal character that is full of life :))
