"Brown Skin" is a three-piece oil painting series on canvas, rich in texture both in the background and within the figures themselves. Each painting features nude women, a deliberate choice to celebrate the natural beauty and essence of our figures. This nudity isn't just an artistic choice; it's a statement about the inherent artistry of the female form.
The women depicted in these paintings are diverse in every sense – in the shapes and sizes of their bodies, the tones of their skin, and the unique markings that adorn them. From beauty marks to scars, are testament to individuality and change over time. These bodies we have, with their varying structures and complexions, are living artworks, continuously evolving.
The spectrum of brown skin is a central theme, ranging from light, almost white tones to deep, purple-brown hues that are nearly black. This array of colors is not just about aesthetics; it's a deeper representation of the richness and diversity of Black womanhood. The nudity in these paintings is an homage to the raw, unfiltered beauty of our bodies – a celebration of our form as a source of art.
These pieces go beyond mere visual appeal. They are a tribute to the role of Black women as creators and nurturers, the very source of life. "Brown Skin" is an artistic expression of our beauty and our power – a visual narrative that speaks to the masterpiece that is the Black woman. Our bodies, in all their versatility and change, are not just part of the art; they are the art.
