TITLE: "Vitiligohh" (Portrait of Moostapha Saidi) DATE: October 16, 2021. SIZE: 36 x 48 x 3/4" (91.44 x 121.92 x 1.905cm) MEDIUM: Acrylic on gallery stretched canvas ------------- This is a portrait of Moostapha Saidi (a South African model and student). Moostapha has vitiligo (a skin condition which causes loss of pigment); I tried to capture his unique beauty in hues of blue. The details are beautiful and every space is meaningful and cared for. This piece took over 150 hours. Made with love and gratitude <3 -------------- ****The last few pics are progress pics as I was completing it from my Insta (@thatalx)
I started painting over lockdown. I never drew or painted before. It's a surprise gift from God. I don't use a projector or tape; how it's made matters.
