About the Item
“Mixed Feelings” is a visual series that captures the emotional complexity of Black womanhood, strength, softness, pride, visibility, and invisibility. Each portrait in this series holds the gaze of its subject with quiet defiance, inviting the viewer to pause, reflect, and feel.
In a world that often demands emotional clarity or neat narratives, Mixed Feelings celebrates complexity. It affirms that contradiction is not confusion but depth. That beauty, identity, and emotion can coexist in layered, unapologetic form.

About Artist
The multitalented and mixed media Artist Oluwafemi Akanmu was born in Ogbomoso, Oyo state, Nigeria, in 1994, where he observed his basic and elementary education, and later went to Emmanuel Alayande College of Education (NCE) for his tertiary education, where he studied fine and applied arts. He was a practiced Art graduate with experience, and his passion for art from childhood made him choose art as a career, and all these experiences had an impact on his art transmission.
Continuous practicing Oluwafemi, the research, studying, and specialized painting and graphics Artist in college, the experience he had while working as a studio assistant at Mr Raph's basic art studio helped him to choose his style in mixed media Art.
Most of his works showcase the ideology of life, events, day-to-day activities, past, experience, and imagination.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Through art, I especially seek to show and highlight the generous African culture and its beauty, showcasing the African black skin. While showing African culture and past events, I also narrate her ways of life and patterns.
My Art intentionally preaches hope for poor African families and homeless children by telling them hope is sure. On the other side, I also showcase the setup of an African home filled with hope that surrounds them. As a native artist from a humble background and modern education, my mood is engaged in the life situations of real black people.
My artistic practice is announced by the image that shows the paramount foundations of love, hope, nature, culture, rites, traditions, courage, humility, and calmness. I can say that my art covers still life, portraiture, nature, and abstracts. Etc.
My Painting is inspired by my unquenched passion for preserving and projecting the African culture to the global arena. Through my Painting, I am unrepentantly determined to give beauty to the sight; heal emotional wounds and injuries; emphasize love; preach peaceful and hopeful coexistence; highlight societal ills and injustices; advocate for the teeming poor; unite families and bind lesions that are occasioned by inevitable disagreements; educate the black youths about her brave legends; reconcile the blacks with her beautiful roots; and magnify the creator for His wonderful creations.
