About the Item

The creator creates every woman in a befitting form and structure. Each of them has a unique feature and body composition that is extremely positive and commendable and also a woman's body is a fertile land that germinates seeds that make the world a better place. This series is about body positivity in women, each nude pose begets a perfect rendition of God's creation, I use this set of paintings to give women the hope of liking their body the way it is as it is nothing aside from a temple of God that has no fault. 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.

His works are strongly influenced by and reflect the cultural happenings and situations that affect the black community laying more emphasis on women and their places in society with the medium choice of acrylic paint on canvas.

He has a residential atelier where he works and also trains young emerging artists for internships. He is a member of Global Arts in Medicine and also a co-founder of Sip and Paint Your Mental Health. Artist Statement The ideas, issues and events arising from man's quest to contain and contend with these forces form the subject of my paintings. Given this background, my paintings are subtle but much defined with interlocking and wedges of colour combined like a mosaic to produce a solid, architectural structure, enhanced by the textured surface of the paint with women accorded with prominent attention, focus and more emphasis in my composition. Women live in a male-dominated society, based on local cultural traditions with few rights and are at the receiving end of men's activities and yet strive to eke out and sustain living. I celebrate them by weaving my composition around them during their hours of need, joy, pain, and other human activities.
