Description
“Here’s to strong women – may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. ”
A new series of designs depicting portraits of “Women Who Made History”
Strong women. Independent women. Resilient women.
Cleopatra’s most noteworthy achievement amid her time as Queen of Egypt (51-30 BCE) was to actively influence Roman politics (Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony) at a crucial period, resulting in enriching the economy and power to her reign. Cleopatra was a scholar and supported advancements in science and medicine. Throughout History, Cleopatra has come to represent, as did no other woman of antiquity, the prototype of the romantic femme fatale and a symbol of strong powerful female rule.
This design is a stylised portrait with strong geometric elements with a nod to the artwork of Modigliani and Leger, maybe even Picasso but with the emphasis on pride and celebration of “Women Who Made History”.
