A portrait of a Black woman with radiant dark skin and natural curly hair. She wears an elegant black lace dress, adding a touch of delicacy and mystery. Her lips are painted a bold red, and her expression is calm yet deeply captivating. A strip of Qajar-era Persian painting is placed over her eyes, featuring elongated, expressive eyes, thick connected eyebrows, and traditional Persian embellishments, seamlessly blending past and present. The background is inspired by Persian Qajar mural paintings, filled with intricate floral motifs, golden swirling branches, and classical female figures rendered in the traditional Qajar style. These figures, set against rich turquoise, gold, and red hues, appear contemplative, as if whispering hidden stories from another time. The artwork is a fusion of modern realism and digital collage, merging African and Iranian cultural elements. The contrast between contemporary textures and historical art, along with the interplay of warm and cool tones, creates a visually striking and thought-provoking composition.”
