- Nakedness of TruthLocated in Ibadan, OyoNakedness of Truth is an original painting by Abifola Olorunlana. Olorunlana created Nakedness of Truth with Acrylic on a 36W by 48H inches primed canvas. Nakedness of Truth was made over a painting Abifola Olorunlana did and didn't like (an underlying painting depicting four figures fetching water from a river and gossiping about someone they didn't like). The Nakedness of Truth is a painting that advocates for people who belong to the LGBTQ community and salutes their unity in making the movement impactful globally. For years many have stayed reclusive about their true identity due to religious beliefs, societal constructs, and government laws which have left many depressed till their last days, many were even killed for courageously coming out to state their true identity. This is depicted in the painting: dark yellow eyes sticking out of the woods to portray a sense of public rejection, yet my subject boldly stands out of the green woods and leaves to express courage, strength, and power.

- Ballerina - unique painting by Paula CraioveanuBy Paula CraioveanuLocated in Forest Hills, NYGracious ballerina, in a moment of silence and meditation. Part of my "Nude in Interior" series Original painting, one a kind. No need for frame. Shipping directly from the artist's studio, stretched, wide stretcher. 15.7x15.7x2in / 40x40x5cm "As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and imagery. My goal is to capture the nude’s relation to the surrounding space and the solitary moments. My interest turned from depicting the space to depicting the atmosphere, and the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings." Paula CraioveanuCategory
