About the Item

Lucha" is a poignant and evocative artwork that delves deep into the complexities of human emotions, interpersonal relationships, and the struggle to cope with personal challenges. The title, "Lucha," meaning "struggle" or "fight" in Spanish, aptly encapsulates the central theme of the piece. The focal point of the artwork is a solitary figure, portrayed with an aura of inner turmoil and conflict. The character's body language suggests an intense struggle with various burdens, both internal and external. I capture the physical and emotional weight the individual is carrying, creating a visual narrative that resonates with viewers on a profound level. The composition of the artwork is carefully crafted to emphasize the isolation of the central figure. The figure's body language communicates a desperate attempt to push others away, she pushes everyone away as if creating a protective barrier against the outside world. This act of self-isolation is a powerful representation of the individual's struggle to maintain control over their emotions and protect those they care about. The tension in the body language serves as a visual metaphor for the internal conflict that the character is experiencing. The impact of her self-isolation is poignantly portrayed through the subtle depictions of the people around her. Her internal battle affects them, and this quickly moves from concern to disappointment. Lucha's internal battles reverberate through her relationships 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.

Your purpose is to simply exist, without identifying as something specific. The ultimate truth is encapsulated in the phrase 'I am that I am'.
