Keeper of My Soul

“Keeper of My Soul” is an emotionally layered abstract portrait painting that celebrates deep connection and trust found in meaningful relationships. Award-winning artist Shakia Harris uses expressive palette-knife texture and loose brushstrokes to highlight two black women supporting one another.

Inspired by the immense support Shakia received postpartum, she sought to highlight the loyalty and emotional safety of said relationships.

Soft lavender, blush pink, plum, and muted berry tones contrast beautifully against a pale blue-gray background.

The atmosphere feels calm, airy, yet warm. 

The faceless abstraction invites viewers to see their own relationships reflected in the work. “Keeper of My Soul” speaks to the rare beauty of being fully seen, supported, and held by someone you trust deeply.
