Queen Marie — Threads of History is a monumental string art portrait of Queen Marie of Romania, created entirely by hand, without the use of any digital programs.
This intricate work took one year to complete, reflecting both patience and reverence for her legacy. Measuring 150x150 cm, it is crafted on a wooden board using fine nylon threads, meticulously woven to capture the regal presence and quiet strength of the Queen.
The background enriches the narrative with collages made from authentic pages of the Romanian cultural newspaper Literatura și Arta, featuring articles about the Great Union — the historic moment to which Queen Marie dedicated her heart and vision.
The delicate flowers that bloom in the background are inspired by actual botanical drawings made by Queen Marie herself, adding an intimate, personal touch to the grandeur of her figure.
Every element of this work — the textures, the subtle layers of history, the delicate weaving — invites the viewer to reflect on heritage, memory, and the silent power of dedication.
This is not just a portrait, but a quiet homage to a woman who became a symbol of unity and grace.
