This is an impressive portrait and the geometric shapes in this art are beautiful. There must be a name for this that I'm unaware of. The portrait of
The Egyptian goddess is beautifully detailed and amazingly presented with perfect precision. Very unique and interesting work of art with pastels. Pleasure to view.

An interesting form of cubism, this portrait is special. The queen is very easy to recognize as is the sun which illuminates the picture. The artist choice of colors let you see the light and the shadows. And if you pay attention, you can see the pyramid.

there is a name for this style of colouration, I was taught at Art College and it is something I enjoy doing in small and large quantity. this is lovely. Talking about sun god- my german grandmother still worshipped the sun. They saw the sun as life giver and had a large sun on her sideboard.

Comment from Joguihoffmann


Very good harmony with colors,

even though the picture is
fragmented is easy to appreciate both
figure and colors. I'm not sure but it looks like pastels and watercolors? Some of the colors are striky, not even and that creates a distraction from the main focus of the painting

Wow!this is so precise in its design and structure, very well created, wonderful details and colors very well applied, she has beautiful green eyes, an oval shaped face and her facial features are proportionate , she has a long elegant neck and her expression is proud. Interesting triangle patterns well chosen colors, I love the yellow sun behind her . This is impressive to view, it's very nice work, very well presented! Best to you in the contest!

Wonderful portrait of Nefertiti! I am an absolute fool for Egyptian art! I love your treatment of this legendary woman and the cubist feel of your work. Love the colors and the overall feel of your dynamic piece! Wonderful entry for the contest!
