"Strength Embodied" is a powerful 40 x 50 cm alla prima oil painting of a black woman by artist Yana Evans, celebrating the enduring strength and natural beauty of Black women. Painted in a single session with confident, expressive brushstrokes, this portrait captures a moment of stillness filled with quiet defiance, grace, and depth.
Her gaze is unwavering. Her presence – rooted in resilience and pride – is amplified by the bold texture of natural hair and the golden earrings that echo strength as adornment. Executed in the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique, the painting embraces raw emotion and immediacy, making each stroke part of the subject's story.
This artwork is a tribute to the inner power of Black femininity – unapologetic, timeless, and radiantly human. It’s a standout piece for collectors who value cultural identity, emotive portraiture, and contemporary figurative art.
