Nelson

Look proud, suspicious, wild, lightning fast. A moment to understand each other. The dark head stands out against an african turquoise sky. The colors of the sky enter in the light of the face. The painting is very beautiful when it is looked at closely, the gold caresses, embellishes and illuminates the figure with a stern gaze. The acrylic and sand technique makes you appreciate every single detail, your gaze runs on the rough surface, sometimes following the ripples of the material, sometimes following the lines of the face, sometimes letting yourself be captured by gold. The subject is the magnificent, sculptural and very kind Nelson Oghenekewe, Nigerian fashion model and dancer who has agreed to be portrayed.
