About the Item
Janet Adebayo's exquisite artwork, "Hiding the Emotions," captivates viewers with its poignant portrayal of a young woman holding a rose-like flower. This evocative piece transcends traditional art forms, creating a powerful connection between the audience and the subject.
Adebayo's use of color and composition is striking. The young woman, with a visage marked by subtle melancholy, gazes away from the delicate, crimson bloom she cradles in her hand. The contrast between her auburn hair and the vibrancy of the flower enhances the symbolism of her inner emotions. The rose-like flower serves as a symbolic extension of her emotions, as she conceals her feelings behind the floral façade.
The viewer is left to wonder about the thoughts and emotions that the young woman may be hiding. A sense of mystery and introspection surrounds the artwork, inviting contemplation on the complexities of human emotions and the masks we wear to conceal them. "Hiding the Emotions" resonates with viewers, drawing them into a world of unspoken feelings and personal struggles.
Janet Adebayo's masterful creation, "Hiding the Emotions," reminds us of the profound depth of emotion that can be expressed through art. This painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the human experience in all its subtlety and nuance, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to behold it.

About Artist
Janet Adenike Adebayo (b. 1997) is a self-taught Nigerian artist, born in Lagos and based in Lagos as an artist. She began her journey as a painter in 2017. She refers to herself as a “confessional” artist, as her art is an expression of intimate moments and openness of truths and feelings others may be otherwise shy to confront. Adebayo expresses herself using acrylic and mixed media on canvas, employing techniques such as her signature “mosaic skin” tones, fusing a collage of colors to create humanoid figures, made obvious by exaggerated features.
Janet Adebayo’s work is an extension of herself, paving the way for personal development. Her work is largely inspired by traumatic events, her everyday life, and the dynamic nature of family ties. She paints her reality, sometimes the counterparts of negative emotions and experiences in others to create fantasies that evoke a sense of belonging and momentary escape. Her current works showcase her perspective on subject matters such as family as a unit, pain, and bereavement, the idea of masculinity, self-awareness, and appraisal.

- Ilori 2 (Heavy)Located in Ibadan, OyoThe title itself, "ÌLÒRÍ," holds a special meaning, as the artist reveals it is a name given to a child who finds its way into their mother's belly while she is still breastfeeding another child. This unique and touching term encapsulates the interconnectedness of life, illustrating how love and new beginnings can emerge even in the midst of existing responsibilities. Adebayo's artwork appears to be a reflection on her personal journey and the story of her birth. She shares how her mother affectionately calls her "ÌLÒRÍ" and playfully recounts the amusing moments when she questions her conception. The artist playfully suggests that she jokingly implores her mother to use protection, a humorous remark that adds a light-hearted touch to the piece. The openness and candor with which Adebayo communicates her personal story add authenticity and vulnerability to the artwork, drawing viewers into her emotional world. The central theme of the artwork revolves around family, particularly the artist's late brother who was just nine months old at the time of her conception. Through her words, "I Miss you bro and happy mother's month. Your struggle is noticed," Adebayo honors her sibling's memory and acknowledges the sacrifices her mother made as a parent. The metaphorical use of the phrase "coconut head" suggests a sense of stubbornness, perhaps referring to the artist's own determination to enter this world despite the odds. This resilient spirit symbolizes the strength of the human will and the innate desire to live, even against all odds. It is a testament to the power of life and the profound connection between siblings, even those who have never met. "ÌLÒRÍ" is more than just a visual artwork; it is a story of life, love, and the unbreakable ties that bind families together. Janet Adebayo...Category
