My Beauty
$10,000.00
My Beauty is an intimate, regal portrait rendered with raw, expressive power. Emerging from a shadowy, atmospheric background of indigo and teal, the subject wears a striking red headwrap that crowns the composition like an aureole of dignity. The facial features are carved through vigorous scumbled textures of gold, ochre, and warm amber, accented by vivid red lips and a delicate yellow earring. The artwork explores Black womanhood, quiet self-worth, and inner radiance that shines unobstructed through adversity. The heavily worked surface creates an antique, almost sacred aesthetic that commands immediate emotional resonance.
