About the art
Artist statement
The White Queen, portrayed as a naïve and kind being, emerges in this piece with majesty, without any throne to elevate her, thus defying the convention of monarchy. Wrapped in a white dress, her apparent purity is highlighted, contrasting with her inner complexity, creating an ethereal atmosphere that underscores her presumed innocence. The image reveals a visual narrative that explores the duality of sweet innocence and subtle perversion that characterize this fascinating character.
However, the charm of the image is revealed in its darker details. Although the White Queen holds a red lollipop in her hand, an object commonly associated with childhood and joy, her seductive gesture as she brings it to her mouth reveals a longing to explore her most forbidden pleasures and a willingness to defy the expectations imposed by her position. This lollipop, like a stain on her white dress, symbolizes the coexistence of sweetness and perversion in the Queen's nature.
The absence of a throne in the composition suggests that the White Queen does not rely on the trappings of power to exert her influence. Instead, she is portrayed as a being who explores her own duality.
