Trojan Horse

Original oil painting by Joli Artist

24 × 36 inches · Oil on canvas

Signed and dated 2019

This work uses familiarity as its entry point.

Rendered in a polished, accessible style, the figure appears at first glance to belong easily within traditional ideas of glamour and beauty. Blonde hair, red dress, pearls, and confident posture create an image that feels immediately recognizable.

On closer inspection, ceremonial facial markings and compositional choices introduce another layer of meaning. These details are not added as contrast, but as part of a single, integrated presence. The work resists simplification, presenting identity as whole rather than divided.

Trojan Horse invites the viewer in through beauty, then quietly expands what that space is allowed to hold.

Original oil painting. One of a kind.

Art From An Alternate Timeline.

In Joli’s work, she masterfully transports these imagined pieces into our world, providing a window into an alternate history through her artistic insight, encouraging viewers to delve into and reflect upon a past distinct from ours.

Experience how imaginative visions from other worlds can challenge and expand our understanding of history and ourselves. Perhaps by contemplating these alternate histories, we can better envision a future history—one that future generations can look back on with pride.

Every painting of Joli whispers of worlds unseen. Here, the traditional is inverted, and women take center stage. Not as objects for the male gaze, but as powerful embodiments of strength, intellect, and influence.

Each of Joli’s paintings are a window into a parallel world: a world unshackled by prejudice, a resonant testament to the power of diversity, of what could have been, and what can be...

Embrace the artistry that dares to ask "what if?" and "why not?" Let each piece become a testament to the belief in the importance of representation and the power of imagination to shape a brighter future.
