Le regard que vous lancez

Original Painting, 2025

Le regard que vous lancez

Son regard, à la fois calme et puissant, porte en lui le poids de l'innocence et de la stigmatisation. Crâne rasé, lèvres pulpeuses, elle se tient là, sans s'excuser, son regard en coin instaurant un dialogue silencieux sur l'identité. Le tableau reflète la beauté et la force de la négritude, tout en dénonçant les préjugés dont elle est victime. Dans son immobilité se mêlent vulnérabilité et défi – une histoire racontée sans mots, par la seule profondeur de son expression.
