Nefertiti was the Egyptian Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the Sun King.
Nefertiti = The beautiful one who comes. Born between 1370 and 1365 B.C. She lived at the time of the New Kingdom in the 18th Dynasty. Today, the bust of Nefertiti is considered an icon and an ancient beauty who is world-famous. It can be seen in the museum in Berlin.
I painted the bust on an abstract background, based on a photo of the bust that I took when I was in Berlin at the Egyptology Museum. At that time it was still allowed to photograph this valuable artefact. The structures in Nefertiti's face are intentional. In different colours that do not correspond to the original, the viewer sees Nefertiti in a completely new light. Artistically realised by me in a lively and expressionistic way.
