Description of the artwork:

The painting is a mesmerizing and evocative portrayal of an African woman set against a backdrop adorned with black and gold graffiti lines. It's a fusion of tradition and urban expression, capturing the essence of both heritage and contemporary art.

The African Woman:
At the center of the canvas stands a powerful African woman. Her presence is captivating, and she exudes an air of grace and confidence. Her complexion is beautifully depicted with rich, earthy tones, reflecting her connection to the land. She wears traditional attire that pays homage to her cultural roots, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns that symbolize the diversity and richness of African heritage. Her eyes, deep and soulful, convey a sense of wisdom and resilience. She is a testament to the strength and beauty of African women.

The Background:
Behind the woman, the background is a striking contrast of black and gold. The black represents depth, mystery, and the unknown, while the gold adds an element of regal elegance. These contrasting colors create a sense of drama and intensity, symbolizing the complex layers of the African woman's identity and the world she inhabits.

Graffiti Lines:
The backdrop is adorned with graffiti lines in black and gold, weaving a captivating tapestry that seems to dance around the central figure. These lines are dynamic and fluid, lending a sense of movement and energy to the composition. They twist and turn, forming abstract shapes and patterns that evoke a sense of rhythm and vitality.

The graffiti lines are not just random; they are carefully curated to tell a story. Some of the lines may resemble traditional African symbols, adding a layer of cultural significance to the artwork. Others might form words or phrases in a graffiti-style font, conveying messages of empowerment, unity, and pride.

The contrast between the traditional portrayal of the woman and the contemporary graffiti lines creates a powerful juxtaposition, emphasizing the idea that African culture and identity are not static but are constantly evolving and adapting to the modern world.

In summary, this painting is a stunning tribute to the resilience, beauty, and cultural heritage of African women. It blends tradition and contemporary urban artistry in a way that celebrates the past, present, and future of African identity, making a bold and unforgettable statement.

Morocco  • 1989

Emerging artists

Born in 1989 in Tangiers, Saïd Sabir is an emerging artist in the street art scene.

For him, street art is more than a movement or a technique, it is first and foremost a way of seeing life. Saïd Sabir has been drawing ever since he was a kid, but his true vocation revealed itself in his teens with the discovery of hip hop and graffiti.

After studying graphic design, the Moroccan artist made his first paintings in 2011. They displayed the influence of pop art in the beginning, but his production got richer ever since. Saïd Sabir found his style little by little. Working with both spray paint and brushes on canvas, he managed to kept his spontaneity alive, while staying in control during the process, and choosing with great care each color he used. Sabir is a perfectionist though, and he reinvents his technique and improves his style ceaselessly. He likes to meet new artists during his travels and his style displays the marks of these influences. He never stops learning, and that is the only thing that matters to him.

His painting offers itself generously in his works. Each portrait delivers a message, has a narrative. He often stresses the importance of each of them in his personal life; they tell stories about people he meets, and they become witnesses of these moments. Saïd Sabir believes that the artist has an immense power, similar to the Divine force : that of creation. 

In parallel with his colorful portraits that have become his trademark, Saïd Sabir is part of numerous projects. He is a comics author producing work such as Killer Network, Piece of Moon ou Wolves... He also makes screen printed t-shirts.
