Afro Woman

Acrylic on Paper Painting By :

Samir Shareef -

Shareef's "Afro Woman" commands attention through bold, expressive brushwork and a rich earth-toned palette. The central figure emerges from layers of ochre, sienna, and burnt umber, her form defined by dramatic black strokes that suggest both strength and movement. Splashes of blue and white punctuate the composition, adding luminous depth. The textured, gestural application creates an almost archaeological quality, as if uncovering ancient stories. This powerful portrait celebrates Black femininity through raw, emotive abstraction.
