About The Artwork
Inspired by the Wodaabe community The Wodaabe people, also matriarchal, are from West & Central Africa. The Wodaabe are a polygamous community. This community reveres male beauty and women select their husbands at the Guerewol festival during the Yakke dance. Young men dressed in elaborate ornamentation and made up in traditional face painting gather in lines to dance and sing, vying for the attention of marriageable young women. The men are judged by three of the tribe’s most beautiful women. Each female judge gets to choose her own winner. The fact that the women watching may already have a husband is not important to this polygamous tribe – because in the Wodaabe women have all the sexual freedom – and are allowed more than one husband.

United Kingdom
I am a London based artist working primarily with acrylics. I enjoy the versatility of the medium as I have the flexibility of choosing between a water colour approach, oil like approach or trying new ways. My paintings mostly start off as ideas and concepts, which I compose in my head. Once I’m happy with the subjects, the colours and the placement, I then translate this to my chosen medium. I use a lot of colour symbolism in my paintings and even match backgrounds with the subjects I paint.
