About this artwork
This painting is inspired by Cleopatra, who was a very educated woman that knew medicine and science, but became famous for her affair with Julius Caesar. Here she is surrounded by a papyrus plat, a symbol of wisdom. Her dress is like the waves of river Nile, over her head the sun is shining on her and behind her stands a pyramid. Cleopatra’s face and the texture of her hair are inspired by a statue of her. The vulture crown and the hieroglyphs on…
her right side, that means CLEOPATRA, are often represented in Egyptian bas-reliefs. In her right hand she is holding Ankh, symbol of life that is usually in the hand of pharaohs. They may carry it in their hand or hold it up to the nose of the deceased, breathing in eternal life. The earrings, pharaoh’s crown on top of a heart, are inspired by real jewelry worn by Cleopatra.

« I believe that we are all one whole and that we are wonderful just as we are. We are a perfect piece of the puzzle called 'the universe'. »
Through her paintings, Jelena Petkovic wants to convey the concept of one soul, one piece of a whole, as well as show the beauty of our collective uniqueness. In the hopes of harmony, tolerance, and acceptance, Petkovic's 'Beauty of Us' series celebrates international beauty through portraits of women, symbolizing pieces of the divine. She creates using oils as they provide her with a full spectrum of colors that are always ‘surprising and stimulating’ to work with.
