ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Mumtaz Mahal is the nickname of Arjumand Banu Begum, the chief consort of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. When she died, Shah Jahan built a mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal as an embodiment of his undying love and marital devotion. This mausoleum is Taj Mahal and this painting is inspired by this love story embodied within the most beautiful monument in human history, which I discovered during a visit at the break of dawn. On the painting we see a colorful morning sky behind a woman which has a posture that reminds us of renaissance paintings with a gentle hand resting on her chest and the head bent on the side. This woman is painted as a monumental building rising above the trees and the pool in front of her. Details like the zig-zag lines in her hair, the flower vines above her chest and the Arabic writings on her arm are all inspired by architectural details on the Taj Mahal. The portrait represents both Mumtaz Mahal and the Taj Mahal but the painting is inspired by an idea of rebirth.

Young, passionate artist with a BA of Interior Design from the Faculty of art and design at MEGATREND University (Serbia), at the very start of an artistic career. Born in a family of architect and artist, my career has been between design and arts. Moving to Paris lead me to pursue my passion for oil painting and art. During 2017-2018 I created a series of twenty oil paintings, a collection of abstract portraits of women. Just a month after my last painting was finished, my collection was exhibited in January 2019 at the CIEM, Paris.
