African Art Series #04

Abstract work built through layering, surface tension and visible traces of process.

This piece explores identity as something constructed over time rather than defined from the outset. The composition develops through color, texture and intuitive mark-making, allowing figurative elements to emerge gradually from abstraction.

Structure and gesture coexist within the surface, creating a tension between control and spontaneity. The work remains open in its formation, with each layer contributing to a presence that feels both deliberate and unresolved.

As part of the African Art Series, it reflects an approach to identity that is physical, layered and continuously evolving.

Material & Technique

Acrylic paint applied in multiple layers with visible marks, patterning and surface interventions. The canvas remains an active component of the work, with texture and structure intentionally preserved.
