Nina is one of my favorite artists of all time. Her work as a feminist and civil rights activist makes her iconic, and gives her music a deeper meaning. This work is based on cover of her “Young Gifted and Black” album. The first time I saw the album I got obsessed with drawing it in a pop-art style, later I realized numerous artists had drawn her in that style from the 70s. With this piece I wanted to capture the of the mood of the time, but most of all its simplicity.
