Swoon over the imaginative portraits of South African digital artist Lethabo Huma. Colorful and soulful, her unique works capture the diversity and beauty of Black skin and Black people. Painting the stars in kinky coils, her work is a glorious expression of geometry and our human connectedness.

“The principal theme in my work is expressive portraiture fused with constructed lines, stars, and soft background colours. I use my work as a mirror to portray various expressions of myself. My aim for creating is to invoke some kind of emotion through my work, for people to feel something.”
