Oil on Birchwood

90cm x 90cm

 This incredibly powerful artwork was lovingly crafted during the pivotal black power movement, driven by an unwavering desire to uplift and empower black women across the globe. It stands as an awe-inspiring testament to the indomitable strength, unwavering capability, and unparalleled resilience that resides within every black woman's spirit. Recognizing the intrinsic value and importance of these extraordinary individuals, this art piece features a captivating portrayal of a woman, her grasp firmly holding the regal King Protea native flower. This exquisite blossom symbolizes not only their remarkable fortitude, but also their unyielding courage as they navigate a world often unattuned to, or dismissive of, their exceptional contributions.

Each and every oil painting that I create is a labor of love, requiring three to five months of dedicated effort and meticulous attention to detail. I pour my heart and soul into these pieces, striving to bring them to life in the most captivating way possible. To ensure their everlasting beauty, each artwork is lovingly sealed with a glossy varnish, adding a perpetual sheen while also providing protection against dust and damage.

However, I implore you to exercise caution and refrain from subjecting these stunning pieces to direct sunlight. Although they may bask in the gentle glow of window light indoors, it is important to remember that excessive exposure to light, no matter how well-intentioned, can gradually lead to the discolouration of any painting or image over time.
