Oluwapelumi Oluyemi
Purple Couch

2023

About the Item

The title, "Purple Couch," serves as a focal point for the composition. The color purple is often associated with creativity, spirituality, and transformation. In this context, it symbolizes the woman's ability to find inner peace and transform her outlook despite external challenges. The couch itself becomes a symbol of comfort and resilience, a place where the woman seeks solace and discovers the strength to weather the storms of life. Oluyemi's personal reflection on the creation of this artwork adds depth and meaning to "Purple Couch." She mentions that despite facing a multitude of issues, she found herself seated at peace, a state of mind she deemed unusual for her. This revelation led her to the profound realization that "If it's out of your hands, then it deserves freedom out of your mind." This golden rule, as she puts it, is beautifully encapsulated in the artwork itself, as the woman on the couch embodies the essence of letting go and finding serenity in the face of life's uncertainties. Beyond the central figure, the composition hints at the storm brewing outside the window. Dark, turbulent clouds loom ominously, representing the challenges and worries that often surround us. Yet, the woman remains unperturbed, emphasizing the power of mindfulness and the ability to focus on what truly matters—finding peace within. In conclusion, "Purple Couch" by Oluwapelumi Oluyemi is a masterpiece that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced life's storms and sought solace within. Through her artistic talent, Oluyemi has captured a profound moment of inner peace and resilience, reminding us all of the power of mindfulness and the wisdom of letting go of that which is beyond our control. "Purple Couch" is not just a work of art; it's a reflection of the human spirit's capacity to find peace and tranquility amidst life's tempests, offering viewers a valuable lesson in the pursuit of inner harmony.

Woman of Valor
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The centerpiece of "Woman of Valor" is undoubtedly the woman's majestic afro hairstyle. In this artwork, the afro becomes a symbol of pride, cultural identity, and natural beauty. Historically associated with the Black community, the afro has been a powerful emblem of resistance, self-expression, and defiance against societal standards of beauty. By prominently featuring the afro, Edwin highlights the strength and resilience of women who embrace their heritage and challenge conventional norms. The woman's stern gaze in "Woman of Valor" captures the viewer's attention and evokes a sense of determination and self-assuredness. The intensity of her gaze serves as a reminder that strength does not always manifest through loud or overt actions. It can also be found in the quiet confidence and unwavering resolve of an individual who knows her worth and stands firm in her beliefs. Edwin skillfully portrays this inner strength, encouraging viewers to recognize and celebrate their own uniqueness. One of the most remarkable aspects of "Woman of Valor" is its celebration of individuality and authenticity. The woman depicted in the artwork stands as a testament to the power of embracing one's true self, regardless of societal expectations or pressures. By representing her with pride, Edwin inspires viewers to embrace their own identities and celebrate their personal journeys. The artwork encourages individuals to recognize the inherent strength and beauty that comes from being true to themselves. Edwin's attention to detail and mastery of his craft infuses "Woman of Valor" with emotional depth and resonance. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow adds depth and dimension to the woman's features, capturing her inner world and inviting viewers to connect with her on an emotional level. The artwork becomes a mirror that reflects the strength and determination within each viewer, inspiring them to embrace their own unique paths and stand tall in the face of adversity.
