The Story behind Queen Zaria
Queen Zaria is portrayed in a moment of still sovereignty, seated beside a white lion that reflects protection, trust and power held in calm restraint. Rather than portraying force through conflict, this piece explores the kind of leadership that is deeply rooted in presence — where strength does not need to be loudly declared to be felt.
Layered with warm earth tones, ancestral textiles and textured detail, this original African queen artwork honours the women who shaped history through wisdom, resilience and vision. Created for collectors drawn to meaningful black woman artwork, the piece brings cultural depth and quiet power into contemporary spaces.
Jedidah's work resonates with collectors drawn to symbolism, heritage, emotional depth, and contemporary storytelling through texture.
