It’s not sacrilegious, I have heard a famous African-American Blues singer saying that you don’t need to be black to sing or feel the Blues.
It was something that gave legitimacy to what I felt and thought but as Mediterranean, and not Black, I kept it to myself.
Until this painting.
Oil on linen, unstreteched canvas.
30x45cm
I have personal reasons to paint on oil paper or linen. For the person who purchases my work in such format, I have something to think about: paintings dont need to be framed as in a museum. Paintings dont need to hang parallel to the wall. I personally pin them to the wall or hang them a few cm away (in this case framed top and bottom) so they can move freely and be observed from a different angle than staring perpendicularly to the wall. But that’s me.
