This is a piece I created to show how beautiful and sensual a woman can be while maintaining an air of repose. While red represents passion, and her skin dark like earth this pieces emits an air of power in femininity.

"They need rappers like me so they can get on they're keyboards and make me the bad guy Chun-Li" Nicki Minaj

Created in the craze of 2018 first female rap “beef”, I wanted to represent Hip-Hop inserting itself into popular culture. Nicki Minaj not only inserted herself into pop culture but also gave way to a cult favorite cult classic game like “Street Fighter”. One of everyone’s favorite characters is Chun-Li, and everyone know she is the good guy making a line like "They need rappers like me so they can get on they're keyboards and make me the bad guy Chun-Li” a beautiful line that represents her sharpness as a rapper.

With influence from thee Grace Jones herself I was inspired by a woman with unclassical features and frankness. I also drew inspirations from the Iconic 90’s anime Cowboy Bebop. Its’s main character Spike is a fearless, explosive, and caring leader who enjoys a good cigarettes even now and then. I knew it would be cool to merge these two pop culture icons into a beautifully unlikely paring.

Inspired by FKA twig’s “Papi Pacify” video, it was a moving visual and song about wanting to be told anything to calm and sooth the woman in the relationship. Much like life a romantic relationship can contain a power plan, and represent a give and take. In this stunning visual you see a man who looks aggressive an possibly scary. However, this is something that the woman wants, longs for, and is very content with. I wanted to add a visual galaxy focusing on how I would imagine a “love/ hate” relationship to be.
