This artpiece was done in a phase of my life when calling myself an artist was just starting to sink in. I was trying out certain techniques for the first time and alot of them would overwhelm me comprehensively. I discovered my love for color and my ability to create a symphony of them in the Process. I always tried to fit into the artist titles on the internet just so I don't feel alienated. I discovered popart and thereon adopted the name. This was one of the first pieces I did during that period and I decided  to call it complexion. The name was relatable to what I was going through at the time especially after discovering that complexion meant more than just colour; it also meant point of view and appearance and boy was I looking for that. I eventually found my identity in creative artistry; I realized that my validation was never out there but always in me; the artist in me came from what I could create; who I am and what was in me. I tapped into it and everything started to make sense. I want the world to look beyond the color of my skin. I am more than that. What you see is only a fraction of my being and what you perceive of it is based on your understanding. Despite being aware of this broadening fact of my life and my abilities; I cannot help but reflect a certain image in my complexion that is largely influenced by colour. A spectrum of beauty waiting to unleash the multiple energies it attracts and the organic flow of being embedded deep in it's core is growing out and creating a complexion.
