Alexandra Cabri’s Awaken the Ancients series opens with Nefertiti, a work that channels the eternal presence of the Egyptian queen as a beacon of divine feminine strength. Through classical technique and archetypal resonance, the painting becomes more than portraiture—it is a portal to remembrance, where beauty, wisdom, and sovereignty converge.
To convene with Nefertiti is to engage with a living archetype—one that invites presence, devotion, and transformation.
“A butterfly is often admired for its beauty—a living work of art.But what moves me most is not the wings, but the becoming.
Inside the stillness of the cocoon, the caterpillar dissolves. Quite literally, it digests itself until nothing remains but a rich, liquid potential. In that dark, silent space, something miraculous stirs: imaginal cells—dormant, visionary—begin to awaken.
These cells carry the blueprint of the butterfly. Not a memory, but a future encoded.
It is from this place of complete surrender that transformation
emerges.
I believe we too carry such a blueprint—a hidden design of our fullest self. It is not something we must force, but something we allow to unfold.”
