Ebony

Ebony is an original acrylic and mixed media painting on a repurposed 11¼" x 35¼" board — a portrait composed for maximum impact, and it delivers. She walks toward us down a narrow runway of deep black, her stride unhurried, her presence absolute. She wears a bold black and white horizontal stripe bodycon dress — the graphic pattern wrapping her figure with graphic precision — and a wide-brimmed black and white striped sun hat, its sweeping brim framing her face in concentric lines. Her red lips are the only colour she needs. At her ears, real earrings catch the light. Around her neck, a real necklace — a delicate chain with a pendant — rests against her collarbone. On her finger, a real ring. Each piece of jewellery is an actual object, adhered to the canvas, giving this painting a dimensionality and intimacy that stops people mid-step. The background is clean white with a bold black architectural column behind her, and beneath her feet, a glossy black runway leads the eye straight to her. Pure paint, pure jewels, pure Ebony. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
