More about Crowned by the Blue Hour

Immersed in deep cobalt tones, this figure captures the transformative moment between night and dawn—the blue hour—radiating resilience, grace, and presence. Adorned with a living floral crown, seed pods, and a guardian bird, the composition celebrates sovereignty rooted in nature, fertility, and harmony, while the blue skin evokes spirit and transcendence. This is a modern icon, crowned not by gold, but by life itself.

Cape Town–based visual artist Russell Smith blends over two decades of professional photography with fine art sensibilities, creating meticulously crafted portraits and still lifes that are both visually commanding and deeply intentional. His work portrays African women with authenticity and depth—strength, pride, and vulnerability interwoven—offering a quiet yet powerful statement of presence and becoming.

More than a portrait, each piece is a collectible statement of beauty, meaning, and contemplation, designed to transform a space and captivate discerning collectors.
