Idia
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Idia (Iyoba) was the mother of Esigie, the Oba of Benin who ruled from 1504 to 1550. She played a significant role in the rise and reign of her son, being described as a great warrior who fought relentlessly before and during her son's reign as the Oba (king) of the Edo people. Queen Idia was instrumental in securing the title of Oba for her son Esigie following the death of his father Oba Ozolua. To that end, she raised an army to fight off his brother Arhuaran who was supposed to be the Oba by right and tradition but was subsequently defeated in battle. Esigie’s mother became the 17th Oba of Benin.
Esigie instituted the title of iyoba (queen mother) and conferred it on his mother, along with Eguae-Iyoba (Palace of the Queen Mother). —Wikipedia
She's the epitome of courage, vision, strength, and vigor.
In this Becoming series, I hope to revive our heritage as well as examine the intricacies of self-actualization, vis-a-vis drawing inspiration from the African history from the Benin and Esan perspective, contemporarily.

Beflowered II
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Be-Flowered" is deeply rooted in the African cultural heritage of a female child. In African culture, it is revered that a young woman should maintain her sexual purity until marriage, which brings immense joy and honor to her family when her husband finds her a virgin on their wedding night.
The title "Be-Flowered" is derived from the concept of "Deflower," which signifies taking away a lady's innocence or dispossessing her of her virginity. However, in this painting series, my premise is centered on empowering women and celebrating their pride and inherent power.
The first two pieces of the series feature ladies adorned in traditional South African bids worn during the Virgin festival. The gentle pink clouds symbolize feminine power and poise, evoking the strength and grace embodied by women.
A community that empowers women tends to uphold higher moral standards than one that does not. My perspective veers away from the idea of gender equality, recognizing its limitations, and instead, I believe in gender equity, providing each gender with the opportunities they need to fulfill their potential.
This series aims to leave my audience with a profound appreciation for empowerment and a celebration of cultural heritage. I hope viewers will reflect on the significance of embracing one's roots while acknowledging the strength and beauty that women contribute to society.

Threads of Resilience
By Bakare Abubakri-sideeq Babatunde
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Threads of Resilience" is a captivating painting that portrays a black African woman sitting gracefully on a chair, her hand resting gently on the backrest. She wears a stunning Balenciaga dress adorned with intricate pieces of Ankara fabric around the neck and on the sleeves. The vibrant Ankara fabric adds a touch of cultural richness to the modern fashion.
The inspiration behind this painting lies in the story of a young girl named Fatimah. Her adoration for the designer dress, so lovingly crafted with a fusion of styles, is palpable. However, fate took a cruel turn as the dress was stolen while hanging on a wire, where she had placed it to dry. Despite this misfortune, the painting captures the essence of Fatimah's resilience and unwavering spirit, showcasing her ability to embrace both the beauty of fashion and the challenges of life. "Threads of Resilience" serves as a tribute to the strength and grace that can emerge from even the most trying circumstances.

Woman of Valor
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The centerpiece of "Woman of Valor" is undoubtedly the woman's majestic afro hairstyle. In this artwork, the afro becomes a symbol of pride, cultural identity, and natural beauty. Historically associated with the Black community, the afro has been a powerful emblem of resistance, self-expression, and defiance against societal standards of beauty. By prominently featuring the afro, Edwin highlights the strength and resilience of women who embrace their heritage and challenge conventional norms.
The woman's stern gaze in "Woman of Valor" captures the viewer's attention and evokes a sense of determination and self-assuredness. The intensity of her gaze serves as a reminder that strength does not always manifest through loud or overt actions. It can also be found in the quiet confidence and unwavering resolve of an individual who knows her worth and stands firm in her beliefs. Edwin skillfully portrays this inner strength, encouraging viewers to recognize and celebrate their own uniqueness.
One of the most remarkable aspects of "Woman of Valor" is its celebration of individuality and authenticity. The woman depicted in the artwork stands as a testament to the power of embracing one's true self, regardless of societal expectations or pressures. By representing her with pride, Edwin inspires viewers to embrace their own identities and celebrate their personal journeys. The artwork encourages individuals to recognize the inherent strength and beauty that comes from being true to themselves.
Edwin's attention to detail and mastery of his craft infuses "Woman of Valor" with emotional depth and resonance. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow adds depth and dimension to the woman's features, capturing her inner world and inviting viewers to connect with her on an emotional level. The artwork becomes a mirror that reflects the strength and determination within each viewer, inspiring them to embrace their own unique paths and stand tall in the face of adversity.

Life is too short to not Shawarma
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Shawarma, a delicious culinary delight enjoyed by many, takes center stage in this artwork. The artist playfully emphasizes the word "Shawarma" on the tote bag, highlighting its significance as a symbol of enjoyment and pleasure. This whimsical representation serves as a reminder to relish the simple, gastronomic experiences that can bring moments of happiness and contentment to our lives.
"You can't buy happiness, but buy shawarma." These words resonate deeply, encapsulating the idea that true happiness cannot be purchased, but it can be found in the small, fleeting moments of joy. The artwork encourages us to seek happiness in the every day and appreciate the simple pleasures that add flavor to our lives. By celebrating the act of indulging in a beloved food like shawarma, the artist reminds us to embrace the little things that bring us happiness.
"Sometimes a sad day is a good day to enjoy life." This thought-provoking statement challenges our perspective on difficult times, suggesting that even in moments of sadness, we can find solace in the small joys that surround us. The artwork portrays a young woman, perhaps caught in a moment of contemplation, choosing to uplift her spirits through the simple act of enjoying shawarma. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, we can find solace and pleasure in life's little pleasures.
"Life is too short to not Shawarma" serves as a gentle reminder to live fully in the present. It urges us to savor the flavors, experiences, and connections that make life beautiful. In a world that often rushes by, this artwork encourages us to slow down and appreciate the present moment, relishing the delicious tastes and sensations that bring us joy.
Food has an incredible ability to bring people together, transcending cultural boundaries and creating moments of shared happiness. The artwork's focus on shawarma as a source of enjoyment underscores the significance of culinary delights in our lives. It invites us to celebrate the diverse flavors and experiences that the world of food offers, fostering connections and creating memories.

Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"We are all equal in the fact that we are all different." These poignant words serve as the foundation of "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)." The artwork beautifully captures the essence of diversity by presenting two women, each with their own distinct features, cultural backgrounds, and experiences. The artist's skillful portrayal of these differences reminds us that our individuality is a cause for celebration, as it contributes to the vibrant tapestry of human existence.
"We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same." This powerful statement challenges the notion of uniformity and emphasizes the beauty of our unique identities. In "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)," the smiles shared by the two women symbolize a universal language of joy and happiness. Regardless of our disparities, the human capacity to experience and express emotions unites us on a profound level. It is in these shared emotions that we find common ground and build bridges of understanding.
"We are united by the reality that all colors and all cultures are distinct & individual." The vibrant colors depicted in the artwork serve as a metaphor for the rich diversity present in our world. Just as a rainbow showcases a spectrum of hues, cultures, and ethnicities contribute to the multifaceted nature of humanity. "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)" reminds us that it is within the intersections of our varied backgrounds that we can appreciate and learn from one another, fostering a sense of respect and admiration for the tapestry of cultures that surround us.
"We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity." These profound words emphasize the fundamental truth that unites us all: our shared existence on this planet. Regardless of our differences, we are bound by the interdependence of life, breathing the same air and being subject to the same natural laws. The artwork serves as a reminder that, beyond societal constructs and cultural boundaries, we are all interconnected beings, deserving of empathy, compassion, and respect.

Melanated Queen
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Melanated Queen" is more than just a painting; it's a tribute to the beauty that resides within melanin-rich individuals and an homage to the resilience of African queens throughout history. Odetomi expertly captures the essence of this woman, her features exuding confidence and pride. The warm, earthy tones used to depict her skin convey a sense of strength and natural beauty, while the rose flower ribbon symbolizes femininity and grace.
The woman's posture in the painting is a testament to the empowerment of women, especially women of color. Her regal posture and unyielding gaze project an aura of self-assuredness, breaking free from the limiting stereotypes that have plagued the representation of African women in art for centuries. Odetomi's brushstrokes artfully depict the subtle yet powerful transformation of vulnerability into strength, revealing the queen-like qualities present within every woman.
Central to the artwork is the rose flower ribbon adorning the woman's hair. The rose has long been associated with love, beauty, and passion, and its presence here infuses the painting with a sense of romance and elegance. Moreover, the rose flower ribbon serves as a symbol of the interconnectedness between nature and the woman's identity. It highlights the harmony she shares with the world around her, as well as her ability to nurture and cultivate beauty in her surroundings.

Believe is a masterpiece that deserves to be celebrated. It is a powerful artwork that embodies the spirit of hope and faith that we so desperately need in these trying times.
At its core, Believe is a symbol of optimism and perseverance. The artwork features a stunningly intricate image of a young boy, set against a backdrop of calming blue tones, the boy stands tall and proud, representing the resilience and strength that we all possess within us.
The beauty of this artwork lies not only in its design but in its message. Believe is a reminder that we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. It encourages us to trust ourselves and to have faith in the path that we have chosen.
It is not just an artist's interpretation of life, it is a positive force that inspires us to look at the world with a new perspective. Believe conveys that life has an amazing power to heal our system and rejuvenate our spirits.
In today's world, where negativity and despair seem to be taking over, Believe is a beacon of hope. Its message is simple yet profound: we are capable of overcoming any obstacle if we believe in ourselves and never give up.
The fact that Believe has managed to touch so many lives is a testament to its worth. It is not just a piece of art, but a timeless masterpiece that has the potential to inspire people for generations to come.
In describing the painting "Believe", In Eyitayo Alagbe's words: "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. Believe in your heart that you're meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic, and miracles".
Your belief and working towards what you believe in can make so much difference between the life you are living and the life you desire.
In conclusion, Believe is a true masterpiece that is both beautiful and meaningful. It's not for mere decoration, it's a source of inspiration for life. Its message is a reminder to us all that we have the strength within...

Expectation is said to be the mother of manifestation. Expectations do come to reality if worked upon and not aborted. This painting depicts the posture of a woman in her gestation period waiting to be called a mother as soon as she puts to bed. A painting inspired by my wife during her second trimester, as she was overwhelmed by the joy of seeing her first child which later turned out to be a baby girl.
