About the Piece

This painting features a unique character: Daisy Duck dressed as Cleopatra, the ancient Egyptian queen. In the image, Daisy Duck is adorned with royal Egyptian headdress and necklace, and her eye makeup mimics Cleopatra's iconic heavy eyeliner. This combination of a cartoon character with a historical figure not only adds an element of fun to the artwork but also creates a novel visual effect through this cross-temporal fusion.

Inspiration: The inspiration for this painting comes from the exploration of merging history with pop culture. I chose the classic cartoon character Daisy Duck and combined her with the enigmatic Cleopatra to express a connection that transcends time and culture. Cleopatra, one of the most famous queens of ancient Egypt, symbolizes wisdom and power, while Daisy Duck represents elegance and charm in modern pop culture. Through this contrast and integration, I aim for viewers to experience a unique beauty that intertwines the old and the new, while also provoking thoughts on the relationship between historical and contemporary culture.
