Title: Daniel's Parents / Medium: Multi-Media / Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood / Size/Dimensions: n/a / Year Created: 2019 This heartfelt piece by Voodo Fé, titled Daniel’s Parents, is a tender and textured celebration of love, legacy, and lineage. Rendered in his signature collage and mixed- media technique, the portrait captures a timeless moment between the parents of Daniel, close friend of Voodo Fé. Set against a warm ochre background with expressive red calligraphy marks, the artwork feels intimate yet monumental. The figures—an elegant couple—are composed from layers of found paper, vintage patterns, topographic lines, and handwritten scripts, giving them an aura of both memory and presence. Their faces emerge not just from pigment, but from lived experience—newspapers, floral motifs, maps, and magazine clippings all subtly woven into their features, symbolizing the many stories that shape a life. The man stands poised and dignified, his gaze steady and protective. The woman, leaning gently into him, exudes warmth, grace, and quiet strength. Her radiant smile and soft expression balance the compositional weight and emotion. Voodo Fé's energetic linework, scribbles, and ink gestures surround them like the currents of memory— unpredictable yet ever-present. This piece is more than a portrait; it’s a shrine to ancestry and affection. By preserving their likeness in collage, Voodo Fé reaffirms the value of remembering those who came before—with all their complexities, histories, and love.
Title: Brothers This powerful piece by Voodo Fé captures raw emotion through its minimalist yet vivid approach. The portrait, rendered in a striking palette of fiery orange and deep black, evokes intensity, presence, and spirit. The textured, torn-paper effect creates a sense of fragmented memory—each piece a shard of love, laughter, and loss. The expression is alive—part defiant smile, part unresolved ache—framed by abstracted black hair that bleeds upward into the canvas, as if his energy refuses to be contained. Set against a muted gray background, the face becomes the undeniable focal point—a beacon of memory that still burns brightly. Created in honor of a friend’s brother, this artwork doesn’t just preserve his image—it pulses with the essence of who he was: vibrant, bold, unforgettable.
• Title: Designer • Medium: Multi-Media • Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood • Size/Dimensions: 36x36 • Year Created 2022 This vibrant dual portrait by Voodo Fé is a textured symphony of identity, culture, and connection—collaged and painted on wood with a rhythm that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional. Two figures emerge from the surface: a woman with piercing eyes and a confident stance, and a man grounded in calm strength, both rendered through layers of paper, paint, and imagination. Their skin is not painted but built—formed from fragments of imagery, illustration, and memory. Magazine clippings, flora, fauna, vintage sketches, and bursts of color come together like personal histories woven into flesh. The woman's afro—thick, inky, electric with black scribbles—crackles with energy, while the man’s textured complexion has a tactile, almost hammered effect, his features assembled from overlapping textures that pulse with warmth and weight. Between them flows a current of shared presence: not just as individuals, but as a unified expression of Black artistry, resilience, and narrative. Her eyes lock with yours—sharp, assured—while his gaze, more reserved, holds quiet depth. Around their bodies, birds, botanical forms, and hidden symbols bloom in the collage, turning clothing into storybooks, skin into landscapes. The backdrop is a soft teal void, simple and unintrusive, allowing the figures to radiate. Voodo Fé’s signature, painted in a blazing orange script, cuts across the lower right— unapologetic, alive, and immediate. This piece doesn’t just portray two people—it constructs them. It celebrates their complexity through material, layering culture and soul into every torn edge and painted line. In typical Voodo Fé fashion, it
Title: Father+Son This radiant portrait by Voodo Fé—commissioned by comedian Donnell Rawlings—is a tender, joy-soaked meditation on fatherhood, legacy, and the warmth of genuine connection. Painted and collaged with Fé’s signature layering of color, texture, and story, the piece captures Rawlings with his young son, Austin, in a moment of unguarded bliss. The composition leans into intimacy. Austin’s face beams with a wide, uninhibited smile —his eyes lit up with laughter, his energy contagious. His father, eyes closed, rests his head gently against his son's, a soft grin spreading across his face. It’s a portrait of safety, of being home in someone else’s joy. The affection is palpable. The palette is rich with golden ambers, earthen browns, deep blacks, and flashes of vibrant red and white—colors that feel rooted in earth and fire, in warmth and truth. The collage technique gives the skin texture and movement, as if memory and present moment are layered right on top of each other. Scraps of printed material peek out from under the paint—pieces of the world embedded in the faces, suggesting the weight of history, love, and shared experience. The background burns with a warm, coppery glow, drawing the viewer into the emotional center of the piece. On the right, Voodo Fé’s signature appears boldly in deep crimson, a flourish that feels more like a heartbeat than a name. This is not just a portrait—it’s a celebration. Of fatherhood that’s present. Of Black joy that radiates. Of legacy not as burden, but as bond. With this piece, Voodo Fé does what he does best: transforms the pe
Title: Firm This powerful painting by Voodo Fé, executed directly on a salvaged door, is a striking exercise in emotional contrast and minimalist portraiture. The composition features a stark, black silhouette of a human head and upper body, devoid of detail except for a few white highlights: the glint in the eye, the top of the head, and a row of stylized, exaggerated teeth captured in a sharp smile. Set against a bold red backdrop, the figure emerges with an intense presence— simultaneously haunting and magnetic. The crimson background evokes passion, danger, and urgency, heightening the tension between the vivid color and the figure’s shadow-like form. The use of only black, white, and red creates a visual language that speaks volumes about identity, power, and the dualities we carry within us—seen and unseen, joyful and pained, real and imagined. The door as a canvas is a metaphor in itself: a threshold, a passage, a barrier. By painting on this everyday object, Voodo Fé invites the viewer to consider what it means to enter into one’s own truth, or perhaps confront a past self. The smile adds psychological depth and nuance to the otherwise minimalist figure. Signed discreetly near the edge, the work stays rooted in Voodo Fé’s consistent themes: transformation, identity, and emotional honesty. It's a conversation between color and silence, figure and void, public face and private shadow—an invitation to step through.
Title: Frazier's This electrifying piece by Voodo Fé is a vibrant celebration of connection, confidence, and expressive identity. Crafted in his unmistakable textured style, the portrait captures two figures—close, cool, and unapologetically present. Their faces, built from layered dabs of color like mosaic brushstrokes, emerge with a rhythmic energy that pulses through the canvas. One figure wears dark sunglasses, lips pursed, gaze direct—projecting charisma and edge. The other, eyes partially closed, seems more introspective, lost in a moment of calm or contemplation. The dynamic between them is magnetic: a shared vibe, maybe a memory, locked in this visual beat. The palette leans into smoky blues, teals, and sand tones, punctuated with shocks of red, orange, and white. Paint drips and splatters across the piece like improvisational jazz, echoing movement and spontaneity. The background—a burnished gold fading into charcoal black—adds contrast and depth, grounding the figures in a space that feels both urban and timeless. Voodo Fé’s signature appears not just in the form, but in the emotion—the raw yet polished tension between chaos and control. This isn’t just a portrait; it’s a mood. It speaks to legacy, to love, to the ways we hold each other up and reflect each other back. This work hums with life. It’s not merely seen—it’s felt.
Title: Lawrence This radiant portrait by Voodo Fé bursts with joyful energy and layered texture, celebrating the vibrance of individuality. A woman tilts her head slightly, eyes sparkling, smile wide and knowing—an expression alive with charm and personality. Her presence radiates warmth, confidence, and an irresistible sense of life lived out loud. The face is composed of a mosaic of colorful, collaged fragments—snippets of paper, text, and pigment that form a skin of stories. Yellows, golds, oranges, and soft browns build the complexion, creating a sunlit glow. Deep burgundy lips and a bold, bright eye anchor the emotional intensity, while the black tank top and thick, glossy strokes of black defining the hair add weight and contrast. The background is a textured interplay of copper, bronze, and rust tones, creating a rich, earthy atmosphere. Scribbles, abstract markings, and a red glyph-like symbol dance across the surface, hinting at coded language and personal mythology—hallmarks of Voodo Fé’s visual storytelling. What makes this piece sing is its emotional texture. The smile isn’t just cheerful—it’s defiant, celebratory, maybe even a little mischievous. There’s strength behind it. As with much of Voodo Fé’s work, the use of reclaimed or mixed materials suggests a deeper metaphor: the beauty found in fragments, the power of piecing oneself together. This portrait doesn’t just depict a person—it honors their presence. It’s an invitation to feel joy, to embrace complexity, to stand boldly in one’s own brilliance.
