Being inspired by the extraordinary personality of Bakare Mubarak the Tallest Model In Sub-Saharan Africa, also an African Culture and Youth Ambassador, African art Enthusiast & Promoter, and an International Humanist.
I have painted his portrait on a huge canvas.
All history of Africa is in one face. Through Art, I support Justice and Equality. The topic of the prevention of racism as an international emergency has been raised in this painting.
I really like to study the history, culture, writings of different nations of the Planet. I was curious to dive into the history of Africa through contact with an interesting personality, a Cultural Ambassador from Nigeria, Bakare Mubarak.
I painted the colorful🎉 background of the picture in one breath, transforming the sounds of African music, the bright national dresses, and dances, crafts, art, and culture into bright colors and rhythms. Bakare's face became a symbolical image of all African history which is written on the face with calligraphic marks and the struggle of nations for independence.
Symbolically I used colors of Pan-African flags:
Red 🟥: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation; Black◼️: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag; Green🟢: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.
