About the Item

The painting captures the bittersweet essence of post-graduation limbo. As I stood on the threshold, degree in hand, the initial euphoria of accomplishment slowly gave way to an unsettling uncertainty. The applause faded, congratulatory messages dwindled, and I was left facing an endless expanse of possibility, devoid of direction. While my peers seemed to navigate their paths with purpose – some plunging into careers, others venturing abroad or pursuing further studies – I felt suspended in time, unsure which route to take. The open road stretched before me like an unfurled canvas, blank and daunting. On some days, I cried myself to sleep, but one day, I decided I would never feel sorry for myself. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. About Artist Olaosun draws her inspiration from her life experiences and everything that touches her feelings. She is particularly interested in conveying messages on gender inequality problems, social issues, and African history, among other issues connected to black people. Through her art, Olaosun aims to create a connection with her viewers, making them feel the intensity of the story she tells. The process of researching and working with different materials has brought Olaosun new challenges and new ideals, which encourage her to continue creating multiple layers in her artwork. Her dedication to self-teaching has allowed her to develop her skills in pencil and painting and has given her the confidence to express herself through her art. Olaosun Oluwapelumi was born and raised in Osun State, Nigeria, and currently resides in Ibadan. She holds a BSc in Geography and Planning Science from Adekunle Ajasin University. Her passion for art has been a lifelong pursuit, and she continues to hone her craft with every piece she creates. Olaosun believes that black is not just a colour but our existence, and she uses black skin in her work to convey this message. Olaosun Oluwapelumi is a passionate artist dedicated to creating positive change in the world through her art. Her medium of choice is acrylic and oil on canvas, and she spends days working on each piece to ensure that it expresses her emotions and connects with her viewers. Recently, she used Green and Black in her works, which symbolize peace and tranquility, as well as hope, harmony, and optimism. Black is a colour of many sentiments. It could be associated with grief, mourning, the occult, mystery, bleakness, heaviness, depression, rebellion, or fear. However, it is also significantly associated with the strength and resilience of the African people. She loves to create through the pain of people around her, to give them hope and let them know that they are not alone. Olaosun's works have been exhibited locally and internationally in galleries and art fairs. She continues to create art that sparks emotions and creates positive change, and her works are a testament to her dedication to her craft and her desire to make a difference in the world.
