African Tribal Mask in Red — Original Beaded Painting on Wood
Fierce, totemic, and radiating with raw spiritual power — this original beaded painting on wood is a commanding large-format portrait of an African tribal mask set against a blazing geometric red composition. The elongated mask face dominates the vertical canvas — rendered in deep brown with bold blue oval eyes, a diamond-shaped red mouth, and a sweeping white crescent frame — bisected by a dramatic central column of richly patterned vertical bands in white, gold, green, red, and black checkerboard. The background is a bold, Mondrian-inspired grid of deep red, burgundy, yellow, and black rectangular blocks that radiate outward from the mask like rays of fire, while the lower half of the composition dissolves into a swirling patchwork of blue, green, yellow, and white geometric fragments. Throughout the entire surface, thousands of hand-applied glass microbeads build up the colour fields with a shimmering, jewel-like intensity that transforms the painting as the light shifts. A portrait of ancestral power and spiritual presence. Painted on a solid wood panel and displayed on a natural wood easel.
