Silencio

This image is part of my series of politically charged photo collage, comprising of studio portraiture & mixed media elements, presented in a style reminiscent of contemporary street art and painterly works. The series is united by the common theme consisting of protest against racial injustice within British society. People of colours voices are often silenced particularly within politics, and underneath the current of popular culture, the depth and tonality within the work reflecting this. The image was inspired and influenced by the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and by the tragic death of George Floyd
