Chinua Achebe Drawing

Original piece done with Ballpoint pen on acid free paper. Chinua Achebe" is a portrait art created using multiple ballpoint pen strokes, portraying the iconic Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic, Chinua Achebe. Achebe is regarded as one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, best known for his novel "Things Fall Apart," which has been translated into over 50 languages and sold millions of copies worldwide. The inspiration for this art piece came from Achebe's literary works and his contribution to African literature. As a prominent figure in African literature, Achebe's works often focused on the social and political issues facing Africa, portraying them in a realistic and compelling manner. His works have influenced several generations of African writers and continue to be a source of inspiration today. Through this art piece, I hope to evoke a sense of appreciation for Achebe's literary contributions and a deeper understanding of African literature. The use of multiple ballpoint pen strokes creates a layered and intricate texture that emphasizes the depth and complexity of Achebe's legacy. I chose ballpoint pen strokes as the medium for this piece because of the medium's versatility and ability to create a variety of textures and shades. Additionally, the subject matter and style of the art were chosen to highlight Achebe's cultural heritage and literary contributions while also creating a visually compelling portrait.
