{"product_id":"ramina-saadatkhan-pomegranate-king","title":"Pomegranate King","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFeaturing bold, bright colours and striking patterns created by combining painted acrylic with collaged elements, at the centre of \u003cem\u003ePomegranate King\u003c\/em\u003e is a female portrait. Depicted in profile with flowing red and black locks, she is surrounded by split pomegranates suggesting abundance revealed through rupture, the fruit being a symbol of fertility, sacrifice and renewal across many Eastern cultures. The serpent recalls pre-patriarchal associations of wisdom, transformation, and knowledge. Masculine and feminine energies coexist, intertwined with nature rather than opposed to it – the female’s striped hair parallelling the black and red stripes of the snake. Through its fragmented collage structure, the work embraces contradiction: strength alongside vulnerability, power alongside care. This painting is part of a series in which Saadatkhan responds to Nietzsche’s idea of \u003cem\u003eUomo Natura\u003c\/em\u003e, which emphasises humanity as inseparable from nature, and argues for the embracing of nature and sexuality as a creative force. \u003cem\u003ePomegranate King\u003c\/em\u003e proposes a vision of leadership, not from an external monarch, but from a complex and contested inner drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramina Saadatkhan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53086272422215,"sku":"RSA0011","price":16200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/4257\/2871\/files\/DSC0349-EditHR.jpg?v=1769171527","url":"https:\/\/art.gazelliarthouse.com\/products\/ramina-saadatkhan-pomegranate-king","provider":"Gazelli Art House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
