INSPIRATION

An African girl emerges with a look that pierces the soul, intense and deep, as if it held the secrets of generations. Her hairstyle, a work of art in itself, is composed of braids adorned with vibrantly colored beads that dance with each movement, reflecting the richness of her culture and the joy of her spirit.

Painted with many strokes and layers of oil pastel, the shades of blue, red, green and yellow of the beads contrast beautifully with the dark background of the black paper. This combination not only highlights the girl’s beauty and expression, but also creates a visual and emotional impact that can leave a mark on whoever looks at it. It is a testament to the innocence, strength and hope that resides in every young look.

Couleurs de l'innocence est une série de portraits où, par ses couleurs, l'artiste nous invite à apprécier la richesse et la profondeur de la mélanine, remettant en question les normes de beauté conventionnelles. Les tons chauds des pastels à l'huile sont mélangés sur du papier Bristol, créant une palette qui englobe une variété de tons de peau. Chaque enfant est un témoignage de la diversité humaine et de la beauté qui lui est inhérente.
