Roadwork: Art and Soul of a Man by
Shernett
Muhammad
Medium: Acrylic
fb.com/ShernettMuhammadART
“I see Life as a moving canvas a living
work of art and we're all masterpieces of
the Creator on display in Life's Gallery
living the Art! Harmonically contrasted,
humanity and nature are fusions of science,
mathematics and Artistry; ever evolving,
ever changing, an ever revealing reality of
artistic beauty and genius. From the
majestic beauty we call the art of creation I
extract and reflect the most outstanding of
the sounding environment in works of art. “

3rd Runner-up
Tenor in Trance by Doba Afolabi
Medium: Acrylic
Art of Black Miami Gallery: Art
Africa
@dobaafolabi
"I always strive to push
painting, as a genre that has the
captivating frequency and
overwhelming
illusionistic effect through texture
and clairvoyant linear expression
that are deliberately accentuated
in masterly draftsmanship.
Space and subjects are my
primary objectives that aid a
balance composition, which I
always consider very important
but the theme of any of my piece
is very relative.”

2nd Runner-up
Colored by Maya Boyd
Medium: Oil/acrylic
@mayafash_art
“This piece shows that
a rainbow of colors can
create a mood of warmth
and coolness in balance.
Even though the face isn't
brown, the mixture of
colors and features
indicate a person of
color.”
