Early its been 5 years. Started since the demand globally for german series has grown exponentially how do you explain that well for a very long time german t. V. Series had an awful reputation. Because German Network is didnt like experience and without any experience its getting really boring so i have to say that everything is a little absolutely today everything is a little bit different because of the competition with the international serving streaming services and their huge budget and the german filmmakers now things wait a minute why should we produce for an International Audience and here we are doc is one example for that its produced by in that flicks they are really not afraid to take a risk with something new and now there is really no way back everyone has to follow and then serious like.

Now face of Queen Elizabeth is more than 2 eyes a nose and a mouth its a symbol of power printed on banknotes from bermuda to britain to new zealand i was a bit sad for her 1st portrait as queen almost 7 decades ago and her way to stifle portrait painter miriam aska fred shows a 94 year old monarch and what the artist calls an aura of regal miss. This is how Queen Elizabeth the 2nd now greets diplomats and guests in the foyer of the British Foreign office. The oil painting is the work of artist mary miska fit she met the monarch in person twice once at Buckingham Palace in the heart of the british capital. For the queen in particular i think whats fascinating about painting hows that youre possibly painting. The best known face in the world and actually thats not an easy thing to do 3 minutes cafe to spend an hour all together with the queen and it was a special honor for their mothers british has found a spanish painter shes quite a powerful this will pass and really thats that was my 1st impression and also very quickly cause a sense of something was very grounded very natural and that she was a very very sharp sense of humor very close to the surface all the time which was really lovely. The artist worked on her trip here in her studio in south london it took a turn in months to complete from the 1st sketch to the finished painting she painted the face last the biggest challenge and the biggest worries guessing guessing how right and getting the face right and getting a sense the person and off the pose so the face of the queen and. Yes and then that feature of the light from the gold which i loved behind her i thought that was stuff that was just picked all clear a lovely thing but it also serves that purpose of creating that sensible. Around. Details in symbolism are an important aspect of her work the painting by a german renaissance artist inspired her to not use several surreal elements like an empty teacup when i was working on the portrait of the queen hogans ambassadors coming into my mind i suddenly resolved that the tea cup was going to be the place where i was going to put this sort of play for kind of symbolism in the painting. Take out and many other details also can be weighed into this portrait of her mother. Mary an instant hit when the National Portrait gallery is b. P. Portrait award in 2018 with an angel at my table and found new founds in government is the reason effectively why i was commissioned to paint a portrait of the queen but i think also the fact that its a portrait of of an elderly woman painted we sort of dignity and respect i think made him feel comfortable and safe that i was the right person the 94 year old monarch inspires artists around the world numerous portraits of the queen have been made since she was crowned in 953. 00 and they traditionally divide peoples opinions in july 2020 1000000 iska for its work was officially presented to the queen by a video called with your majestys commission miriam it will be a picture of you know just. As a. Just an absolute pleasure to meet a homeowner and then a chance to see it and see it and it looks very happy she seemed to be smiling from ear to ear and she looked very relaxed and i think the general consensus was that she really liked the portrayed so so you know that was lovely. Graham esque if it will never forget this very special commission all the moments she spent with the queen. Music fans in france and around the world are remember.
