The Old Man (October 2022)
A vivid oil pastel portrait inspired by the image and life of the late Senegalese Artist, Issa Samb. One of my first experiences using oil pastels as a part of my creative skillset, this piece shows a creative use of color to honor the essence of a once living figure while innovating a unique style and use of the medium itself. This piece illustrates the power of spontaneity, of allowing oneself to become free through the making of art.
