Echoes of Donyale
60 x 48 inches
Mixed media (oil, acrylic, latex, gold foil) on canvas
This painting honors two icons at once—Zendaya and Donyale Luna, the first Black supermodel to grace the cover of a major fashion magazine. Inspired by Zendaya’s bold tribute to Luna, this piece became my own form of homage: to beauty, legacy, and the quiet power of presence.
The gold foil background isn’t just decorative—it’s sacred. It’s the shimmer of history catching the light. Her pose is defiant yet graceful, and her gaze? Unapologetic. I used over 30 colors to build the mosaic pattern of her bodysuit, each one placed like a tile in a cathedral of style and strength.
This piece is about more than fashion. It’s about reclaiming space. It’s about the layers—of paint, of story, of identity—that make someone unforgettable.
