Art as Resistance, Beauty as Legacy
The Vision of Botini
Welcome to My World - Where Color Speaks Truth
Peace and Welcome.
I'm Botini---visual artist, cultural storyteller, and daughter of the south.
This space is more than a gallery: it's a living archive. Each piece I create is an act of remembrance, resistance, and reclamation. I work primarily in acrylic to center Black people, especially Black women, as both subject and spirit. Through bold, intentional strokes, I honor the brilliance, resilience, and beauty that defines us, even when history has tried to erase us.
As an artist, I am on a mission to preserve and uplift the cultural heritage and history of Black people in the Americas. My work confronts the deep wounds of systemic oppression, slavery, and their aftermath-- not to dwell in pain, but to make space for truth, dignity, and healing. I create so that our stories endure, so that future generations can see themselves; powerful, beautiful, and unbroken.
Thank you for visiting. I invite you to explore these works not just with your eyes, but with your spirit. May you find pieces of your own story within mine.
With love and purpose,
Botini
