Black is Black is a striking interplay of light and shadow, where the elegance of a woman’s face
emerges from bold, abstract strokes of black ink. Her features are partially obscured, adding a sense
of mystery, while the sweeping brushstrokes create a powerful contrast against the stark white
background. Her lips and eyes glint subtly through the darkness, hinting at resilience and beauty
within the obscured.
This piece speaks to the allure of hidden strength and the profound layers of identity that reside
beneath the surface. Rather than revealing, the artist suggests that beauty can be found in what
remains unseen, in the confidence and complexity carried within. Black is Black challenges us to
find grace in shadows, recognising the elegance in ambiguity and the quiet power of what is left
unsaid.
