Afro Puff Ballerina

Original Art Print by Mantel Amey

A tender tribute to Black girlhood and quiet determination, “Afro Puff Ballerina” captures a young dancer in an intimate moment of preparation. Her eyes are closed in focus as she adjusts her ballet slipper—her rich natural hair styled in two proud puffs, symbolizing both innocence and power. The soft yet bold brushstrokes, vibrant pink backdrop, and layered textures of her tutu evoke grace, discipline, and the quiet strength it takes to pursue dreams. This piece celebrates the beauty of representation, perseverance, and the artistry of movement.
