South African self-taught artist uses lipstick to paint Tyla

In honour of Tyla's birthday, which was on the 30th of January, we feature a local artist's painting of her.

Just this week, Carol Ofori shared that her baby girl celebrated her fourth birthday. 

Not only was it a momentous occasion for her precious Serwaa because she was celebrating with her first birthday party, but she was also excited because she shared a birthday with her favourite musician, Tyla... or should we say 'Tylo', as she calls her. 

Listen to Carol's appreciation message below. 

After Carol shared that Serwaa shared a birthday with Tyla, the South African singer/songwriter who celebrated her 22nd birthday, we came across something so beautiful online. 

A self-taught South African artist by the name of Ricollin shared a short TikTok video last year of a painting he did of Tyla. 

Ricollin used a variety of lipstick shades to paint a portrait of Tyla - and it was surreal!
