Alicina Xindinghani Vilankulu

Alicina Xindinghani Vilankulu was born and raised in New York City. As a self-taught artist I have been drawing and painting since I was a child. My use of bright acrylics and abstract images was deeply influenced by the Pop Art scene of the 1970s and 1980s in NYC. The second strong influence of my art is my African heritage. I was lucky enough to take two trips to Africa in my youth and that experience changed my life, my perspective of the world and my art.
