Queening, 2025
Acrylic, soft pastel and chalk on canvas
Queening forms part of a series of five paintings inspired by perfumes sourced from around the world. Each work translates scent into colour, texture, and atmosphere.
This piece takes inspiration from Queening by Mind Games, a fragrance that blends softness and strength with quiet confidence. The painting moves like liquid light, a surface in gentle motion that reflects both calm and control. Layers of blue, beige, and muted gold flow across the canvas, evoking the shimmer of silk or the play of light across water. The composition holds a sense of poise, balancing elegance with restraint.
The perfume opens with cotton flower, apple, and cypress before deepening into orris, rum, and saffron. Beneath these layers, vanilla, coconut, and musk bring a radiant warmth. This progression from crisp to creamy mirrors the painting’s tonal shifts, where cool light dissolves into golden depth. Queening becomes an abstract study of quiet power and refined grace.
