This set of 6 different paintings of 5 different characters is titled āportraits 2025: a species of manā
designed with mixed-race-ethnic-ambiguity and intersecting concepts of male portrayal in heavily gendered representations of diverse and non verbally male traits that can be found in any given population in the world (past and future inhabitants considered)

gold, magenta, and green, limit the color pallet and seal the whole collection as one event of being seen while featured, posture, and fashion accessories are all aspects shared to indicate a certain level of mystery to identify the race or ethnicity amongst one another.
iāve had natural hair for nearly two decades and i wanted to contribute a style of rendering hair that felt honest and not totally obsessed with gene expression as a centerpiece concept, and could not possibly make it into a true to life without the slightest change in my own style of art that finds shape more important to render the color pallet than texture for a directly communication of reality in the context of abstract rendering of object truths.
The three photos below the photos of myself and product photography are stills of family heirlooms inherited from my grandfather after my grandmotherās passing.
Mixing them in this post for the color palette and to rope it together as a contribution to an excerpt of him: home. #axhHOME

(R* is for race)
