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

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.

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.

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.
