About the Item
A colorful acrylic and oil pastel Picassoesque portrait of a woman with a daisy tiara, Marcita, 2025 by African American artist Bai is 15” x 11” drawing/painting on watercolor paper. Fo the work bright bold tones are offset with white flowers, framing the distinctly feminine subject's face. Marcita, whose eyes reveal a bemused figure, belongs to the earthy and eternal subjects that Bai paints so well.
In the artist's words:
"Colour becomes symbols I use to reflect emotional states that humans experience – reds for the violent past, blues, greens for the peace to come, and yellow and oranges for the bright future ahead. The latter is not guaranteed in my paintings. However, I think peace is attainable in life." ~Carl Karni-Bain (BAI), New York
