Sybille Sterk explores the theatricality of the Rococo era through a digital lens, focusing specifically on the era's iconic, architectural hair creations. In this seventh entry of her series, the artist presents a dark queen whose silhouette is defined by an intricate arrangement of celestial motifs and surreal textures. The squared composition centers on the figure’s face, where the weight of the crown and the complexity of the coiffure suggest a ruler deeply connected to an internal, supernatural realm.

Utilizing the precision of Illustrator alongside the textural depth of Photoshop, Sterk fuses pop surrealism with classical portraiture. The Black Queen is not merely a figure of authority but a site for fantasy world fusion, where stars and eclipses appear woven into the very fabric of her regal presence. This work invites a journey into the power of imagination, presenting a peaceful yet mysterious coexistence between the human form and the vastness of a dreamlike cosmos.
