''Imani'' (Embracing The Present Moment)
30'' x 40'' oil on canvas, custom framed in Lindwood, 2024.
This portrait celebrates the beauty of difference, featuring a muse with vitiligo—her skin depigmented in areas, showcasing the uniqueness of her condition. Her gaze, as captivating and elusive as the Mona Lisa’s, follows you wherever you go, offering a sense of serenity and calm. Many who encounter her feel an immediate connection, as though she mirrors their own beautiful imperfection back to them.
Her eyes, intense and soulful, draw the viewer in, while her facial features become more expressive as they move away from them, reminiscent of the powerful studies of Rubens. The background lines, dark at the base and gradually lightening, reflect her loss of pigmentation, adding another layer of meaning to the composition.
More than just a portrait, this piece embodies the strength and serenity that can arise from embracing one's differences. Imani, meaning "faith" in Swahili, embodies trust in oneself and the world around her, radiating an inner peace that strengthens her resolve. She is unashamed and powerful in her self-acceptance. Her beauty radiates not despite, but because of, her condition. This is a celebration of empowerment through difference, a reminder that strength lies in accepting and embracing what makes us unique. Through her, we are invited to anchor ourselves in the present moment and celebrate the diverse beauty that exists within us all.
Fine Art Prints are now available! Imani is available in a limited edition of 50. Collect yours before they’re gone.

“Imani” (Embrasser le Moment Présent)
30'' x 40'' huile sur canevas, encadrement sur mesure en bois de Tilleul, 2024.
Ce portrait célèbre la beauté de la différence et met en scène une muse atteinte de vitiligo, dont la peau est dépigmentée par endroits, mettant en évidence le caractère unique de sa condition. Son regard, aussi captivant et insaisissable que celui de la Joconde, vous suit partout, vous offrant un sentiment de sérénité et de calme. Beaucoup de ceux qui la rencontrent ressentent une connexion immédiate, comme si elle leur renvoyait le miroir de leur propre imperfection.
Ses yeux, intenses et pleins d'âme, attirent le spectateur, tandis que les traits de son visage deviennent plus expressifs à mesure qu'il s'en éloigne, rappelant les études de Rubens. Les lignes de fond, sombres à la base et s'éclaircissant progressivement, reflètent sa perte de pigmentation, ajoutant une autre couche de signification à la composition.
Plus qu'un simple portrait, cette œuvre incarne la force et la sérénité qui peuvent naître de l'acceptation de ses différences. Imani, qui signifie « foi » en swahili, incarne la confiance en soi et dans le monde qui l'entoure, dégageant une paix intérieure qui renforce sa détermination. Elle n'a pas honte, elle est puissante dans son acceptation de soi. Sa beauté rayonne non pas en dépit de sa condition, mais grâce à elle. Il s'agit d'une célébration de l'empowerment par la différence, d'un rappel que la force réside dans l'acceptation et l'adoption de ce qui nous rend uniques. À travers elle, nous sommes invités à nous ancrer dans le moment présent et à célébrer la beauté diverse qui existe en chacun de nous.
