About the artwork

A young African woman in profile, eyes closed, exudes serene strength. Her skin is framed by rough, ochre-yellow brushstrokes, with deep black tones enhancing her silhouette. The subtle ring earring and the interplay between facial expression and paint skin give the work character. It feels warm, earthy and personal , an ode to silence and identity.

People have always intrigued me in all their diversity, strength and vulnerability. My travels to countries such as Africa, Bali, Australia, Dubai and Nepal, among others, have left a lasting impression. Every face I create carries something from that journey: a memory, an emotion, a story. Encounters with other cultures and customs have broadened my outlook and enriched my heart. Those experiences are the source of inspiration for this portrait, and for all the others.

This work fits into interiors that exude tranquillity and worldly elegance. For lovers of portraiture, travel or culture, it offers a powerful focal point full of inspiration and story.

The basis of this work was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), which acted as a digital sketch assistant. The painting was brought to life with thick layers of acrylic paint, so that the portrait really seems to jump off the canvas.
