About the Item

Valerie Etitinwo's unique approach to abstract figurative painting celebrates the unconventional beauty found in imperfection and awkwardness. The Nigerian-Swiss artist uses bold colors and disorganized shapes to create captivating artworks that challenge traditional beauty standards. Etitinwo draws from her upbringing in dichotomous cultures to create work that is universally relatable through the celebration of imperfections. With each piece, she strives to push her creativity and expression to new levels of intrigue and "ugliness." > One-of-a-kind abstract figurative painting on canvas, measuring 2832 inches high by 34 inches wide > Sides painted as a continuation of the front; framing not required > Wired and ready to hang > Signed by the artist on the front > Includes certificate of authenticity from the art gallery > Free local delivery in the Los Angeles area > Affordable U.S. and international shipping available Etitinwo's appreciation for cubism is evident in her unique approach to portraiture, which features faces painted like masks. As an introverted person, she often observes people more than she talks to them. Growing up around Nigerian "aunties," they became the subjects of her work, with their actions and mannerisms inspiring her paintings. Through her art, Etitinwo seeks to deconstruct Nigerian culture and stereotypes, creating artworks that challenge and expand our understanding of beauty and imperfection. “I’m old enough to understand them [stereotypes] but also young enough to question them.” Artspace Warehouse has been representing and exhibiting Valerie Etitinwo's original artworks since 2021.
