Original artwork description:

Science tells us that our species originated in hot Africa. For thousands of years, people have been spreading over the planet, adapting to a new reality, changing the colour of their skin.
I had never really thought about it before, and I was just attracted to the facial features of African girls. I don't particularly appreciate painting portraits, but I am really into the play of colors and the variety of tones found on the skin of the inhabitants of the black continent.
Look at that girl! Her dark eyes stare dreamily into the distance, a slight smile on her lips. What is she thinking, what is she dreaming about? We can only guess.
A few years ago, I exhibited works devoted to African, mulatto, and Asian women.
To my surprise, all the pictures were sold out. It turned out that I was not the only one who admired the beauty of African women.
Time passed, and a passionate desire arose to repeat the exotic portraits.
This is the first painting, and many more will like it. I have an idea to exhibit each
piece in two versions - on paper and canvas.

Materials used:

professional oil paints; special paper for painting; priming
