What’s Queen Cassius Cornuta all about?

When you look at this piece, you might be asking, What’s the story behind it? Well, let me tell you.

The Cassius Cornuta shell is a stunning symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience. It’s not just a beautiful shell—it represents power and protection, like a crown worn by a queen. The sharp points of the shell? They’re like ten pillars of strength, each one symbolising a different virtue, from wisdom to resilience.

 

But there’s more. The turquoise swirling lines that wrap around the figure aren’t just decorative—they represent the flow of energy, much like water. It’s about adaptability, growth, and how we evolve with time. The soft lines contrast the sharp points of the shell, showing how strength can exist with grace and fluidity.

 

And her gaze—direct and confident—challenges you. It’s as if she’s asking, Are you ready for the wisdom I hold? It’s a quiet authority, full of hidden knowledge, waiting for those who approach with respect.

 

The colours, too, speak volumes. The blend of turquoise and golden orange isn’t just beautiful—it’s about balance. Turquoise represents clarity and emotional balance, while golden orange exudes confidence and wisdom. Together, they embody a woman who is both serene and powerful, grounded in wisdom while always evolving.

 

At the heart of this piece is the idea of interconnectedness. The shell morphs into the figure, showing how deeply her strength and wisdom are a part of her. This artwork isn’t just a portrait; it’s a powerful symbol of the feminine spirit—grace, strength, and the beauty that comes from embracing both.

So, what do you see when you look at Queen Cassius Cornuta? A queen? A guardian? A figure of wisdom? Or maybe a little of all three? It’s all about the journey, the growth and how we carry both our strengths and vulnerabilities with grace.
