One of my latest painting, "African Girl with a Pearl Earring." This piece reimagines Vermeer’s iconic masterpiece, bringing forth the beauty and strength of African identity. By transforming the subject into an African girl, I aimed to pay homage to Vermeer’s technique while infusing it with a contemporary perspective.
The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity.
