"Our blackness is the art." - Morai

MEET THE ARTIST- MORAI ELISE

“I’ve always found beauty in my culture. Our hair, skin, and resilience is enough inspiration for me to want to continue to create art that reflects the beauty of our blackness.” – Morai

Known for her expressionist realism portrait paintings, Morai has always had a love for digital art. Anime was a heavy influence in her early digital art pieces, spending hours and days creating and redrawing avatars on sites like Gaia.com. She is super excited to revisit one of her first loves since childhood and incorporate her many different artistic styles into her new digital collections of art.

“While I’ve always been a natural at realism, I can’t ignore the love I have for stylized art. This new collection will showcase my admiration for our culture and the beauty in every skin tone to every texture of our hair.” – Morai
