About the Item

"Self Love," a poignant creation by Adegbola Deborah, celebrates the essence of self-acceptance and the transformative power of embracing one's true identity. At the heart of this artwork is a young woman, beautifully depicted with a sense of authenticity that transcends societal norms and standards. The title, "Self Love," serves as a guiding principle for the viewers, emphasizing the importance of unconditional self-love. The accompanying message is a powerful reminder that true self-love goes beyond superficial aspects such as physical appearance. It encourages us to look within and understand the depth of our being, recognizing that our worth is not determined by external factors like the shape of our face, the size of our eyes, the length of our hair, or the quality of our clothes. The artwork's portrayal of the young woman becomes a visual narrative of empowerment through a positive mindset. The idea that one's self is a treasure reinforces the concept that within each individual lies a wealth of potential, unique qualities, and inherent value. The emphasis on self-love as the most important love of one's life underscores the significance of cultivating a compassionate and nurturing relationship with oneself. Adegbola Deborah's "Self Love" stands as a profound reminder to viewers to appreciate and embrace their authentic selves. In a world that often imposes unrealistic standards, this artwork serves as an empowering beacon, encouraging individuals to cherish their uniqueness, and fostering a deep connection with the essence of who they are. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Deborah is a very promising budding Nigerian artist who was fortunate to be born into the idyllic serenity of the agrarian town of Saki, surrounded by the immensely inspirational botanical splendor that the community had to offer. These assets combined to nurture the newly discovered talent waiting to be expressed by the young artist who was only fifteen then, having been born in the nineties. Deborah usually derives her creative impulse from nature, everyday experiences, her own sensitive reactions, and her unique interpretation of events and phenomena with a marked inclination towards realism. Hence Deborah's works are at once her own means of catharsis and a vehicle for the showcasing of nature's beauty and by extension human beauty with a particular emphasis on feminine charm. From another perspective, her works represent her own reaction to everyday emerging and re-emerging phenomena hence are inevitably her own self-disclosure. Having been raised within a polygamous home she finds herself equipped with the necessary native intelligence for a mature interpretation of experiences. Deborah is both a gifted artist and a talented scholar. She attended the Polytechnic Ibadan Eruwa campus after which she obtained a degree in fine arts from Olabisi Onabanjo University emerging as the best student at graduation. A prominent part of Deborah's style is the use of flowers or floral background patterns in her works. These serve to reflect her enchantment with nature. Also, traces of impressionism are to be found in her creations. In highlighting feminine assets she chooses to focus on women's nature, strength, and energy. Deborah had a stint at the Universal Studio under the renowned artists Abiola Olaku and Wallace Ejoh in 2017. She plies her trade with excellence in the media of acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and charcoal, Deborah her SIWES at the NIKE arts studio Osogbo, and has gotten some training from a seasoned practitioner like Oluwole Omofemi
