Size:65 x 53 in. Charmaine Chanakira’s original painting A Deeper Meaning (60" x 48") is a bold and thought-provoking work that pulsates with energy, emotion, and hidden narratives . This striking piece is a vivid explosion of colour and symbols, featuring a dynamic interplay of abstracted facial forms, expressive eyes, and fragmented text. The composition is layered with a sense of movement, as bright neon hues, deep blacks, and electric blues contrast against raw, textured brushstrokes and graphic outlines. There is an intentional chaos to the arrangement, with familiar motifs such as crowns, arrows, and geometric shapes scattered throughout, creating a puzzle for the viewer to decipher. Chanakira’s signature use of coded messages and symbolic imagery encourages an interactive experience, inviting her audience to search for deeper meaning within the layers of paint and script. Her work is heavily influenced by her personal experiences, as well as broader social and political themes. This painting, like much of her work, explores identity, cultural heritage, and self-expression. Born in Zimbabwe and now based in London, Chanakira’s art acts as a powerful voice for her inner thoughts and experiences. Through her vibrant and spontaneous approach, she creates visual stories that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. Show more
