Ready or Not Print captures the full radiance of one of Hakim Idriss’s most striking large-format portraits. The title echoes the energy of the original work — a presence that feels both immediate and timeless, as if the figure steps forward with quiet confidence, already prepared for whatever comes next.
Set against a luminous yellow background, the composition vibrates with intensity. The palette knife strokes are sharp, expressive, and full of movement, shaping the clothes, jewelry, and veil with a rhythm that feels almost musical. Blues, whites, and warm skin tones collide in precise fragments, giving the portrait a sculptural dimension. Her gaze is direct yet serene, and a subtle, almost hidden smile softens the power of her stance.
This print faithfully conveys the aura of the original 90 × 120 cm canvas — often seen as the “older sister” of Lost Ones, the signature artwork of the Legacy Beats exhibition. Both share determination and dignity, but Ready or Not carries a calmer strength, a composed pride that defines Idriss’s portraiture at its finest.
