Ramona Pintea, an internationally renowned artist, aims to challenge, inspire, empower, and elevate women all over the world through her global #WearYourCrown♥ campaign. The campaign features her Urban Queen series of paintings. Each painting bosts bold, uplifting, and symbolic designs.
The artist enlisted other influential women on nearly every continent to promote and empower women. The campaign's 10 leaders comprise diverse backgrounds and are visionaries in their fields of politics, business, arts, entertainment, and nonprofits. In addition, Pintea painted each one of them as an Urban Queen. The original artwork will be donated to raise funds and awareness for women's and girls' issues, including domestic abuse victims, breast cancer awareness, education for indigenous girls, and gender-balanced leadership. Each Urban Queen leader is raising funds for one of the selected issues.
