Negro Sunshine

The most precious Gold 
At the root of my existence 
First and last.

A love letter to the Black body.

Bahati Simoens is an independent female artist born in Munanira (Burundi, 1992)
from Belgian and Congolese descent, currently based in Johannesburg (SA).

Bahati creates vibrant figurative paintings, heavily inspired by her African heritage.
Her work centers around bright colors in combination with black bodies
being celebrated in a world without the white gaze.
Pulling from everyday living, through softness and a warm demeanor.
