Sometimes, clients ask me questions about framing their new #paintings. There’s a wonderful frame shop @rowad_alfnoon in Olaya, Riyadh that does an impeccable job. Their frames range from silver and gold to black and white and almost anything in between! Check out their account, you'll be amazed! Thank you @aliaaldiqsart for introducing me to the shop. I'm enchanted by these floating frames. I love that they don't hide the canvas edges where the drip marks are. Swipe left to see examples of black frames which I think look so elegant. . . . . . #khalaijimase #KJ #africanartist #africanartcollectormagazine #blackart #africancontemporaryart #africanart #tribalart #africantribalart #portraitpainting #figurativart #blackartspace #contemporaryafricanart #contemporaryart #artecontemporanea #modernartwork #malerei #portraitart #tribalartist #studiolifestyle #studioart #africanart #tribal #nubian #blackconsciousness #africanbeauty #igs_africa #fridaystudiovibe # (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHhWYuzAjWs/?igshid=9nsavfqf2ezf

She was hanging on a gallery wall in Barcelona, Spain, last year. A few months later, I received an email from Rose, telling me how happy seeing this painting had made her feel. These messages give me courage to go on, to keep telling my story through portraits. You make me feel so special. . . . . . #khalaijimase #kj #africa #africanartist #africanart #tribalart #africantribalart #portraitpainting #figurativart #macrame_community #macramé #macramè #macrameart #macrameart #portraits #portrait_society #portraitart #figurativepainting #riyadh #riyadhartist #dubaiart #dubai #jeddahart #riyadhart #kenyanartist #barcelona #artgallery #artexhibition (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfe5AWgvez/?igshid=5heb5cf4ib5h

I spend hours alone every day, reminiscing, recording my memories through portraits, painting... When I’m alone, I am able to feel my energy without distractions. When you see my art, you see my energy. This is the most authentic connection I can have with you over the internet. **Link to products in my bio** . . . . . #khalaijimase #KJ #africa #africanartist #africart #blackart #africancontemporaryart #africanart #tribalart #africantribalart #artprintsforsale #portraitpainting #figurativart #blackartspace #contemporaryafricanart #contemporaryart #that_greatart #portraitpainting #figurativepainting #artmerchandise #wednesdaymood #wednesdaythoughts #wednesdayvibe #portrait #riyadh #riyadhart #riyadhartist #dubaiart #dubai #jeddahart (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHcYEjBgO6G/?igshid=nr297x2tbgxv

Sometimes, I can’t quite seem to get the colours just right…or the nose…or the mouth. Lying on the floor, staring at the painting from a skewed angle helps me figure it out. . . . . . #khalaijimase #KJ #africanartist #africanartcollectormagazine #africancontemporaryart #africanart #tribalart #africantribalart #portraitpainting #figurativart #blackartspace #contemporaryafricanart #contemporaryart #modernartwork #malerei #portraitart #tribalartist #studiolifestyle #studioart #africanart #nubian #blackconsciousness #africanbeauty #igs_africa #makeportrait #africanamericanart #fridayvibe #friday (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHPsVjWgTMi/?igshid=kaau3i1r12cz

Do you enjoy poetry? I have always enjoyed creative writing. I write poetry when inspiration strikes and then file it away, to rediscover months later. Today, alliteration beckoned... 😏 Dots dotted the dome Displaying dismal disks...of Fun,funk and fad... 😏 I stopped painting for a while. . . . . . #khalaijimase #kj #africanartist #africanart #blackart #africa #tribal #portraitpainting #figurativart #contemporaryart #artecontemporaneo #artecontemporânea #malerei #portrait #figurativepainting #riyadh #riyadhartist #dubaiart #dubai #riyadhart #artstudio #artprocess #workflow #workprocess (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHICXjJgU8y/?igshid=1luqm0491kzh

Halloween is still strange in Africa. However, hotels and restaurants do have a Halloween theme night. Whatever the theme, Africans must eat. Here's a throwback to a Halloween commission I did years ago. It was so different from my usual work. I must say I had fun painting it. Watching it go up was exciting! . . . . . #khalaijimase #kj #africa #africanartist #africanart #blackart #africancontemporaryart #tribalart #africantribalart #tribal #africanstudies #blackhistory #contemporaryart #africanmagic #magic #tribalmagic #africanmagicseries #witchcraft #africanstyle #ig_africa #blackculture #blackhistory365 #halloween #halloween2020 (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_-tqVAx4K/?igshid=11noiewwa5f4f
