Madam Creola - original netflix just like in lifeSize: 16" x 20" Medium: acrylic on canvas Artventure: I couldn't resist doing a multi coloured variation of the madras and using a chocolate skin tone to model it! The madras fabric depicted here in the dress and chapeaux paille (hat) is predominantly used to create the national wear of Dominica or 'Creole wear' as it is affectionately called. Brought to the Caribbean by our African ancestors, the madras cloth is something we hold on to with pride.
