Living and growing up in the UK of Caribbean/African background I felt no connection to the African Culture or heritage. Through books and literature I began trying to bridge the gap of knowledge and relationship to the heritage i felt lost. On top of that experiencing the way I am portrayed and received by the world due to my skin colour, I wondered what it would feel like to not be pre judged on first glance of my skin. what would it be like to live in a society not so dominated by a euro-centric worldly ideal of beauty?

I imagine this would be what it's like for the tribes people of East Africa. Untouched by the world views and opinions they see the beauty and reverence of their skin and choose to daily enhance it with various natural items borrowed from nature. They paint themselves and mostly each other in clays, use nuts, leaves and branches to adorn their bodies in a celebration of nature and their part of it.

The freedom to be whoever you are.

"Natures child" portrays a softness with the powerful presence of a young tribes girl in decoration which I felt would best reflect the softness and hard edges charcoal mediums provide.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
