Moonlit Sultana

“Moonlit Sultana” measuring 90×120 cm, Oil on Silk Fabric.
Available to buy.

A contemporary homage to classical Orientalist portraiture, Moonlit Sultana is deeply inspired by the works of Jean-Léon Gérôme, whose mastery in capturing the richness of the Sultan era resonates with my artistic vision. Through intricate layers of oil paint on silk fabric, I seek to evoke the same timeless elegance and historical depth found in Gérôme’s depictions of the East.

The unique integration of silk fabric adds a tactile dimension, enhancing the illusion of luxury and opulence elements that defined the grandeur of the era. This piece is not just a portrait; it is a bridge between past and present, where art, history, and craftsmanship merge to bring the mystique of the Sultanate to life.
