The Royal Court
from $50.00
From my series, “The Royal Painting.” Historically, Black women are almost entirely absent from 16th-century royal portraits, which primarily depict European nobility. This absence reflects a long-standing erasure of Black identity from spaces of power, elegance, and influence.
The Royal Painting series reimagines these traditional settings by placing Black women in spaces where they have rarely, if ever, been seen. This work serves as both a celebration of Black beauty and an assertion of their rightful place in narratives of royalty, sophistication, and historical significance
