The Story
Discover "Queen Elizabeth II", a regal mixed media masterpiece by the renowned British artist David Arnott, encased in an elegant black floating frame that measures 29 x 41 inches. This artwork is a modern homage to one of the most iconic figures of our time, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, crafted with meticulous precision and an eye for the intricate beauty of mosaics.
Arnott's work breathes new life into the ancient art form of mosaic, traditionally used to depict religious icons, reimagining it to celebrate contemporary legends. The portrait is composed of thousands of meticulously hand-cut tiles in shades ranging from sleek jet black and soft charcoal greys to delicate pearls and silvers. These colours blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious balance that captures the Queen's dignified essence.
The crown-like structure adorning her head is not only a symbol of her royalty but also serves as a focal point that adds depth and texture to this stunning piece.

David Arnott dedicates countless hours to each composition, drawing from photographs and sketches to ensure every detail aligns perfectly before embarking on his elaborate creative process. His devotion extends beyond craftsmanship; he immerses himself in studying his subjects thoroughly, making each artwork not just a visual spectacle but an extraordinary tribute.
"Queen Elizabeth II" represents more than just artistic innovation; it's an invitation to view royalty through a refreshing lens—fragmented yet luminous, authentic yet brilliantly imaginative.
