Mary...und das Blut war fremd

Description (English, Shopify Body):

She wears a crown that is falling apart. Her eyes are closed — not from weakness, but because she stopped looking outward long ago. The blood on her hands is not hers. She knows that. And still.

Mary… Foreign Blood is the first work of the Deranged Queens series — figures at the threshold between dignity and ruin. No judgment. No redemption. Only the moment itself, held in oil.

The painting draws on the methods of the Old Masters — dark ground, layered glazes, light that holds its ground against the black — while refusing historical distance. This woman is not the past.
