Princesse au Chocolat is a striking piece from the Mademoiselle series, blending modernity and timeless elegance. The painting portrays a Black woman with half of her face and upper body gracefully outlined in white paint, creating a minimalist yet powerful contrast. Her hair, styled in twists, and her features are subtly suggested within the outline, drawing attention to a vivid square of color around her eye.
Within this square, a rich tapestry of detail emerges—her radiant brown skin, a captivating hazel eye, and the bold orange of her eyebrow and twist. This vibrant focal point serves as the soul of the piece, standing out against the textured pastel collage of ripped magazine clippings that make up the background. Encased in a royal blue painted border, the composition exudes sophistication and allure.
