The Queen of the Nile (Mixed Media Acrylics)-

The Queen of the Nile (Mixed Media Acrylics)-

This is a mixed media painting that was produced on a piece of white heavyweight paper. I began this work a few years ago, by cutting a black monoprint on newsprint into sections and gluing them to the white paper. A figure formed from the positive and negative shapes of the monoprint. I then began drawing a few defining lines of subordinate subjects with ink. I then glued interesting gold and iridescent textile pieces to the work, which added texture, color, and form. After this I painted (with acrylics) the remaining spatial areas, also using a selective amount of gold and bronze metallic acrylic paints. I then refined some areas with ink again, (like the woven planters) and also glued real seashells to the work as accents (for her jewelry). Overall the piece conveys a cubistic feel, with interesting simplified forms, and a variety of patterns and textures which also help to express the Egyptian theme. I enjoyed relating a timeless subject that also contains elements of certain spiritual and philosophical beliefs. The original dimensions of the piece are 23in. X 18in. The initial monoprint and drawing work was established in 2005, and the remaining painted work was completed in 2008.

    That is very beautiful, Robert. I love the symbolism paired with the cubist design. I bet it looks great in person with those seashell accents!

  • Robert Dye replied

    Thanks for your encouraging thoughts. The original is quite tantalizing and I think I’ll produce more works by using fabrics, other papers, inks, and paints. Glad you enjoyed this… Take good care, Peace-

    This works very well with it’s abstract elements and drawn detail. You have captured more of the authentic Egyptian story rather than a romanticised version. There is a primal chaos with this I really appreciate!

  • Robert Dye replied

    Thank you very much for your thoughtful analysis of the work, in its production methods and subject. I really appreciate the interest. Hope you take good care, and enjoy my various works, Peace-
