Abstract

My thesis delves into Black identity through the medium of painting and drawing. Colored Narratives shows a fictional world where people called Unknown, due to their pure Black skin, living in a world where they are outcasts due to their looks and characteristics. These paintings discuss Black identity from theories by Black artists and authors. The pieces in Colored Narratives are created from different passages and converted into a visual message to show through cultural and personal narratives. Through these artworks, they aim to provide a clear understanding of race, representation, and identity.
