Beauty from within by Bisola Abdulrasheed Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Thread and nail on board Dimensions: 24 x 24 in Year: 2026 Price: $4000.00 USD Status: available Her beauty was never defined by what the world could see. This artwork celebrates the unseen beauty that resides within every individual. The portrait has a calm yet confident expression. The textured black hair, string face and vibrant orange background create a feeling of strength, confident rather than vulnerability alone. Why collect this work?Dense black yarn builds the sitter’s hair into raised masses, while taut, intersecting threads construct her face as a field of accumulated lines. Abdulrasheed describes her practice as addressing womanhood and women’s lived experience. Here, that concern is concentrated in a single, composed figure rather than a narrative scene.In the photograph, the head tilts toward the left as the gaze remains direct. Angular passages of warm and pale thread articulate highlights, makeup, and shadow against a coral-toned ground.The documented thread-and-nail medium lets line serve as both contour and surface. Changes in direction and density model the face, while bundled yarn gives the hair greater visual weight.The work provides a concrete case for examining portraiture between drawing and relief: facial identity emerges not from blended pigment, but from many visibly separate strands held in tension.
