The Limited Collection (3 paintings) is a captivating exploration of the diverse and rich tapestry of beauty originating from the African continent.
From the Sahara Desert to the lush landscapes of the Congo, Africa boasts a kaleidoscope of ethnicities, cultures and traditions, each contributing to a unique expression of beauty.
The paintings delve into the meaning of traditional ornaments, tribal markings, beadwork, vibrant textiles and hairstyles, reflecting a deep connection to heritage and identity.
They also highlight the redefinition of beauty standards within modern African societies, challenging stereotypical notions and embracing a broader spectrum of individual expressions.
I aim to dismantle stereotypes and promote a more inclusive and appreciative understanding of the diverse beauty that flourishes across the continent.
