Caricature/Color Portrait – Rihanna, the R&B Singer!

Presenting…
Rihanna, the Barbadian Songwriter and Singer, who blends Rhythm and Blues, a genre of popular African American music that originated in 1940s, with Caribbean music!

The Caricature, Cartoon, Sketch, Color Portrait of the Rhythm & Blues/Caribbean Music Singer Rihanna.

Rihanna’s biography:

Rihanna, 22 now, was born in Barbados on February 20, 1988. An year before the release of her first album, she moved to the US. Rihanna began singing when she was barely 7. She had a troubled childhood because of her father’s drug addiction and later the divorce of her parents.

Rihanna formed a girl-band with two of her classmates, at the age of 15. It was around this time that she was discovered by Evan Rogers, the music producer. In about an year’s time Rihanna’s demo was ready and she had moved to the US with Rogers and his wife.

Her debut album Music of the Sun received mixed reviews – it was her second album “A Girl Like Me” which truly launched her in terms of numbers, yet even the second album didn’t please the critics. (What I often wonder is – why we’ve got the critics at all? I think that for an artist, writer, or performers – what matters is the verdict of people…Rihanna’s case proves my point.)

Rihanna however wasn’t in a mood to let the critiques stop her, and so with her third album she decided to change her image. (Image makeovers are extremely important – when things aren’t working out – shock people.) This was also the time when Rihanna dyed her hair black (from brown?) and changed her persona. This album had a song “Umbrella”, which became the worldwide No. 1 hit, and which also featured the American Rapper Jay-Z. Thus began Rihanna’s awards journey – and by 2008 Rihanna had become famous!

2009 wasn’t a good year for Rihanna as she made news as a battered woman who had been beaten up black and blue by her boyfriend Chris “Brown” (Christopher Maurice “Chris” Brown – who is a singer too)! (Chris says that he grew up in a family with domestic violence – but then that can be no excuse for beating anyone up, especially someone you say, you “love.”) She’s currently in a relationship with Matt Kemp.

(Recently, the image of Rihanna’s battered face has become the subject of a fresh Police Probe. )

Other Things About Rihanna:

  • She idolizes Madonna and Mariah Carey, and everyone else, including Janet Jackson, Beyonce Knowles, Celine Dion…and so on and so forth. It helps to be on the good side of everyone.
  • Her music is influenced by Caribbean Music.
  • Her dressing style is considered some what vulgar by many!
  • Rihanna’s got numerous tattoos, including a Sanskrit prayer on her hip – now that’s what I’d like to read…really:) I think Rihanna’s hip (tattoo) should motivate many young people to learn Sanskrit. Thoughts?
  • Rihanna’s philanthropic efforts relate to children. (I’d recommend that she includes Battered-wives Rehabilitation Programs in her list too.  Women really need to woken up!)

Her Albums:

  • Music of the Sun
  • A Girl Like Me
  • Good Girl Gone Bad
  • Rated R
  • Loud

My new #fountainpen :) Bought it for just Rs. 300/- and love the way it writes. It took me on a trip into the past. @submarine_pens thank you! #nostalgia #childhoodmemories #childhood #writing #handwriting
2023 is almost here. Perhaps this year you'll realize your first dream or second...or one of the many that you were born to realize. Each year that goes by leaves us with experiences that mark us with new wisdom to help us make this journey of life more beautiful for ourselves and for others.
Wasting a blank page is sacrilege…and yet my diaries over the years have remained partially filled…Torn between philosophy and practicality, I repurposed them…crafting new notebooks out of the reclaimed blank pages. Creativity can take many forms. What forms does it take for you? #creativity #notebook #bookmarks #paper #paperlovers #diary #repurposed #repurposing #reusing #writing #thoughts #notes #creative
Sitting under My paintings “Shield” and “Revolt”, which are only partially visible here. Shield is 4.5ft x 6ft - Revolt is 2.5ft x 4ft…so they tower above me, as they should. Art above the artist. With this I bid farewell to a year dedicated to art. Next year, I hope to travel. #art #artist #painting #2022
Cuteness overload on the streets of Noida :) #dogs #streetdogs #streetdogsofindia #cutepuppy #normal #sunnyday
Me in front of my painting “Shield” with “own your Energy” by @nonawalia She visited my art show at @lalitkalakademi today and signed my copy of her new book. My meeting with her underscored my feeling that she is the only one who should’ve written this book about staying charged up in a drained world. Loved it Nona! And thanks for visiting. Discussing my paintings with you is always such a fulfilling experience. #artshow #ownyourenergy #inspirationalbooks #books #oilpaintings
If you are in Delhi from 22nd to 28th November, do visit. I’ll be delighted to receive you at my Art Show “Revelations” at Gallery no. 5 at Lalit Kala Akademi, Delhi.
Fiddling with Canva and calling myself busy…#squirrels #canva #squirrel #busy #getalife #nature #animalmemes #talkingheads #timepass #pastime
Bought it years ago…started reading it today when my schedule is packed so tight, it barely leaves me time to breathe. But it’s a good thing I did, because it will help me keep my mind clear of inconsequential details by spreading through the stress-inducing microscopic gaps. Next show begins on the 22nd and still there’s so much left to do…stressing out certainly doesn’t help. What are you reading these days? #reading #kenfollett #kenfollettbooks #elizabethtudor #historicalfashion #busy #artexhibition @lalitkalakademi #timemanagement
@lalitkalakademi today. Artist M. Raja of Chennai with his mixed media works. He is in Gallery 5. I loved his delicate treatment of the form and the subtle variations in the colors and shades. #indiancontemporaryart #indianartist #mixedmediaart #chennaiartist #beautifulart
Right now at India habitat centre. Witnessing some absolutely delightful watercolours by @arun73232020. On till Monday evening…don’t miss. #delhiartist #artistsoninstagram #indianart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorpainting
Work in progress in my little corner…an atelier painter is what I am…at least until I reclaim my plein air existence. #oilpainting #art #artspace #mycorner #mylittlecorner #artlover
