Anubis Reimagined: Abstract Figurative Painting, Mythological & Surreal Themes
Located in Dallas, TX
This captivating oil painting by Michele Mikesell is a striking fusion of abstract and figurative styles, masterfully crafted on a large 51 x 38-inch canvas (130 x 97 cm). Titled "Anubis Reimagined", this piece embodies an evocative exploration of mythological and surreal themes. The central figure, elongated and adorned with a crown-like element, exudes an enigmatic presence, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian deities merged with contemporary abstract expressionism.
The muted gray-green background, punctuated by delicate marks and textures, serves as a minimalist stage that accentuates the vivid colors and layered details within the figure. Subtle strokes of bold yellows, reds, and blues blend seamlessly with the raw textures, creating a sense of depth and intrigue. This artwork invites viewers to interpret its narrative while showcasing Mikesell’s signature style—a harmonious balance of mystery, abstraction, and symbolism.
Perfect for collectors and art enthusiasts seeking a bold yet contemplative centerpiece, this painting complements modern, eclectic, and minimal interiors alike. Its large-scale format and compelling design make it ideal for gallery walls, luxury residences, or professional spaces.

Aiyekooto (Insecure) - Contemporary African Portrait with Parrot Symbolism
Located in Ibadan, NG
“Aiyekooto (Insecure)” is a psychologically resonant painting that invites the viewer to reflect on the instability of truth in contemporary society. The Yoruba title Aiyekooto translates as “the world rejects truth” a fitting metaphor for an era defined by misinformation, curated identities, and performative honesty.
At the center of the composition is a mysterious figure, partially obscured behind a sculptural, collar-like form, as though armored against scrutiny. A parrot, traditionally a truth-teller in Yoruba symbolism, perches on a branch nearby. But here, the bird becomes a subtle antagonist representing the overwhelming flood of conflicting information in our modern lives.
The figure’s intense gaze, matched by surreal accessories like a lemon slice hat and hyper-stylized garment, suggests both elegance and caution. The mood is contemplative and charged a quiet but forceful critique of societal insecurity toward what is real, what is fabricated, and what we choose to believe.
Orioye’s painterly skill, combined with his unique narrative approach, creates a work that is visually rich and conceptually deep. The balance of cultural symbolism, fashion surrealism, and psychological commentary makes this piece a timeless addition to any serious collection of contemporary African art.
Why It’s Worth the Price:
This is more than a portrait it’s a visual philosophy rendered in color, texture, and metaphor. Bukola Orioye...
