Queen of Her Own Becoming by AT-8 in Berlin

Mixed Media X Komod Festival X Weilheim, Bavaria 2025 This large-scale canvas piece was created for Komod Festival 2025 and built on a self-constructed frame. At its center is the expressive portrait of a young woman whose smile radiates warmth, strength, and authenticity. Her face is rendered in subtle grayscale tones, standing out clearly against the vibrant, atmospheric background. Surrounding her unfolds a luminous, almost cosmic scenery of deep blues, purples, and glowing oranges. On the left appears a mysterious blue cat wearing a crown—watchful, powerful, and almost spiritual. On the right, a butterfly hovers delicately, symbolizing transformation and freedom. The composition merges realism with surreal elements, creating a visual narrative that moves between dream and identity.
