About the Item

This striking painting captures the regal profile of a Black woman draped in a purple garment adorned with vibrant Ankara leaf motifs. Her deep, contemplative gaze and the sharp geometry of her bold, yellow square earring juxtapose the organic flow of the surrounding foliage, creating a powerful dialogue between strength and softness, tradition and individuality. The layered background of colorful leaves symbolizes growth, resilience, and the deep-rooted cultural identity of African womanhood. Through the rich textures and intentional use of color, the piece speaks to beauty not just seen, but lived, an ode to Black elegance, cultural pride, and enduring presence Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
