African Pride

| ART4FREEDOM meaning: |
My ART4FREEDOM is about the freedom of the people of Africa and the right for them to be themselves. When I made this artwork, quickly after seeing the Black Panther movie, I had a vision of an ancient African citizen, who looks rich and well-dressed. I wanted to show the possibility of something before the poverty, a majestic picture of a forgotten civilization far from the image, we have of Africa nowadays. I gave him white eyes to give him an extra dimension like a God, something mysterious, far from us, and to give him a bit of wisdom. I think it's also freedom to decide how perceive our own past and not only stick to what we are being told, again and again, since our childhood. IAM4FREEDOM!
