About the Item
The painting "Onigele Yii" depicts a striking black African woman wearing a vibrant Ankara head tie, known as gele, in the Yoruba language. Rendered with oil on canvas, the artwork captures the intricate patterns and bold colors of the fabric, highlighting the beauty and cultural significance of the head tie. The woman's gaze is serene yet commanding, radiating a sense of inner strength and confidence. The painting also showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of the woman's features, including the curve of her lips and the texture of her skin. Through the use of oil paint, the artist has created a sense of depth and dimensionality, making the woman's head tie appear almost tactile. The painting is a tribute to the beauty and resilience of black women, as well as a celebration of African culture and heritage. It reminds us of the importance of embracing our cultural identities and celebrating the unique beauty of each individual.

About Artist
Bakare Babatunde Oluwadamilare was born in Ogun State, Nigeria. He completed his high school education in Lagos State and later pursued his tertiary education in Kwara State, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Library and Information Science.
From a young age, he had a passion for art and was a self-taught artist. Over the years, he experimented with various mediums, but his favorite mediums are oil and acrylic on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara. His subject matter focuses on figure and portraiture, which aims to portray human emotions, experiences, and challenges. His paintings offer a unique perspective, interpreting his thoughts on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara.
Recently, he started working on a series of paintings on Ankara fabrics as support. He was fascinated by the vibrant colors and patterns of the Ankara fabric, which inspired this discovery. He has participated in various art competitions and exhibitions, including the iCreate skill festival in 2017 and the ijakadi festival as an exhibitor. His works have been sold both in Nigeria and abroad, and he continues to create thought-provoking pieces that captivate and inspire his viewers.
