About the Item

Oluwafemi Akanmu is a Nigerian artist known for his exceptional talent in creating striking artworks that reflect the beauty and complexity of African culture. "Soul Gazing" is one of his most captivating works, featuring a bald woman with a beaded necklace looking sideways. This painting is a powerful representation of the strength, beauty, and resilience of women. The painting depicts a woman with a bald head, a symbol of strength and courage in many cultures. Her eyes are fixed to the side, as if gazing into the distance, lost in her own thoughts. She wears a beaded necklace, which adds an element of elegance and beauty to the painting. The beads themselves are intricately crafted, reflecting the artist's attention to detail and his appreciation for traditional African art forms. The woman's face is beautifully rendered, with smooth lines and delicate features. Her skin is a warm brown tone, with a subtle glow that suggests inner peace and contentment. The artist's use of color is striking, with warm earth tones dominating the painting. The background is a deep green, which contrasts beautifully with the warm tones of the woman's skin and the beads of her necklace.

The woman's bald head is a symbol of courage and resilience, while her gaze suggests a deep sense of introspection and contemplation. The beaded necklace, meanwhile, adds an element of beauty and elegance to the painting, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, women can still find ways to express their inner beauty and grace.
