My art empowers women globally by merging tradition and innovation. Through my unique use of hair wraps, a powerful symbol of cultural identity, and vibrant canvas paintings, Ispark conversations about social change, transcending cultural boundaries, and inspiring communities wherever go.

**Black Art Celebration Week** - What a week! ✨ This Black Art celebration in Rotterdam was more than just an exhibition—it was a sacred gathering, a ritual of connection where the strength of my ancestors guided me every step of the way. I surrendered to the moment, honoring those who came before me, feeling their energy flow through every creation, every exchange, every glance. The joy I carry is ancestral. It comes from resilience, from the freedom to express myself and fully exist through art. I am deeply grateful for this experience, for this celebration, for every artist, every conversation, and every memory now engraved in my soul. Black art is ancestral, it is present, it is future. And I am here to live it fully. #BlackArtWeek #AncestralStrength #LivingTheMoment #Gratitude

**The crossings** - This abstract canvas is a vibrant symphony of color and form. The bold use of red, a hue often associated with passion and energy, dominates the composition, creating a dynamic tension with the contrasting yellow accents. The white background provides a luminous backdrop, allowing the colors to radiate with intensity. The interplay of brushstrokes is masterful, with thick, impasto applications juxtaposed with delicate, linear marks. This creates a rich tapestry of texture, inviting the viewer to explore the painting's depth and complexity. The overlapping shapes and angular lines suggest a sense of movement and rhythm, as if the colors were engaged in a lively dance. The painting's composition is carefully balanced, with the dominant red shapes creating a sense of structure and stability while the yellow accents adding a touch of spontaneity and unpredictability. The use of line, with the lines creating a sense of energy and direction while the shapes adding depth and dimension. The overall effect of this painting is one of visual excitement and intellectual stimulation. It is a work that rewards careful contemplation, inviting the viewer to discover new layers of meaning with each viewing. 2023
