Pharaohs of Grace
This visionary digital artwork series is a personal tribute to the eternal beauty, myth, and memory of Ancient Egypt. Each illustration is meticulously crafted in a style inspired by Indian miniature painting, yet deeply rooted in Egyptian heritage — drawing from history, symbolism, and imagination.
The series features legendary figures like Cleopatra and Ramses II, reimagined in serene narrative moments that blend the sacred power of pharaonic temples with the softness of papyrus gardens, Nile sunsets, and mythical creatures. Every scene is carefully composed with historical motifs, pastel earth tones, and symbolic flora and fauna to evoke a dreamlike reverence.
These are not just illustrations — they are meditations. They are visual prayers woven in pigment and pattern. And they are my offering to those who seek to remember who we were, and what divine echoes still live in our blood.
