This painting is part of the triptych #TheBlueQueen, which can be acquired individually or as a whole.
In a world that moves at a fast pace, the concept of rest often eludes us, a crucial need overshadowed by the relentless demands of our daily lives. The Blue Queen transcends this chaos, an embodiment of rest in the form of a West African spiritual persona, who personifies exquisite beauty. She finds her throne in a bathtub, symbolizing the deep yearning of the female body for solace in our tumultuous age.
This triptych is a mirror reflecting the beauty of slowing down, embracing solitude, and prioritizing self-care. It serves as a profound reminder that rest is not just a luxury but a spiritual call, a declaration of self-worth, and a testament to the strength of women.
