Nina Simone- “Nina”
Available as a Limited Edition of 50 Giclee Prints.
Oh my, this one still gets me to the core and I’m the artist!
Here we have the high-priestess of Jazz, the most enigmatic female jazz singer to survive into the 21st century. Her music has many re-mixes flying around the web. Proof indeed that Ms Simone’s music and legend still has kudos all these years after her passing.
So, here I’m oil painting her face with many transparencies, to create that depth needed to capture her soul…followed by a narrative acrylic expression of her struggles in the land of liberty and opportunity…really?? No black female ever had a free ride in 20th century America, let alone a jazz artist and civil rights activist…she had very little chance of success but she only carved out a career that still shines bright today.
This picture, firstly celebrates Ms Simone but also pours a shipload of sympathy on her frustrated life and struggles.
I LOVE this image and she is my favourite piece of art.
Bless xx
Fine Art Giclee Printing
I use the finest printing method available to the artist. This is what is known as Giclee printing, where the original work is extensively scanned and further worked on through a collaborative edit with both artist and printer, to create the AP (Artists Proof), meaning the first ever agreed upon Giclee version of the original. These AP’s are worth seeking out as they make the artwork more desirable for any future sale.
To further explain, Giclee prints are amongst the best fine art reproductions available today, used for gallery and museum exhibition, limited editions, private collections, archives, and more. But what are they? What do you need to know to make or buy one? And what makes these prints worth it?
A true Giclée print refers to an archival print made from an inkjet printer equipped with a highly permanent set of inks in a wide range of colors. Artists, galleries, and collectors seek out giclée prints because of their unmatched standard of digital reproduction, and archival longevity.
Thus, any purchase of my artworks has the added bonus of being of only the highest quality inks and cutting edge technology to give longevity exceeding the properties of the original- in some cases.
