MELANIN & MYSTICISMS

COLOUR I

Light of ardor, of fire. Vigour, dominion, zest, and enigma.

COLOUR II

Warmth. A place near the heart of the flame, yet unburnt.

COLOUR III

The breathing night. Glows you remember from pasts unreached.

COLOUR IV

Soil in the penumbra. The gift of the pomegranate.

COLOUR IX

Æther, wrought from its riverous form. Gold poured into ingots of you.

BLACK+WHITE I

The bath which blinds, granting new sight.

BLACK+WHITE II

The bath that unveils, granting mystery unbound.

Have Range, Get Range

Maximal input. Minimal output. Combined, stylistically, together.

Us paying homage to past art that has achieved timelessness is intentional, all while highlighting black women, and women/people of colour.

Influences on this work include: graphic design and illustration, philosophy, anime, video games, film and television, 17th-18th century paintings, album covers and the music they envelop, as well as several photographers past and present.

In this growing gallery you'll find composites, beauty, fashion, editorial, avant-garde, art nude and a contemporary interpretation of pinup. Thank you for visiting this site.
