“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” ― Andy Warhol. Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle is a Kenyan-American artist and accessories designer. Her work is influenced by a foundation in graphic design and career as a fashion accessories designer. Lolita Lorenzo (named for her daughters Chiara Lola and Siena Lorenza) showcases her multiple disciplines: eyewear, minaudière, jewelry, home decor, illustration and fine art. Carol is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London (MA Fashion). "My work as a creative has been inspired by a diverse array of modernist and contemporary artists ranging from Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Koloman Moser, and Alfons Mucha, to Richard Avedon, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. More recent post-contemporary influences include Kehinde Wiley, Yinka Shonibare, Bisa Butler, Nick Cave and Banksy. My digital and mixed-media collages reference fashion editorial photography and iconic women, juxtaposed with bold, colorful botanical motifs that present the illusion of mythical, ethereal creatures. The central figure is depicted as the heroine. Her hair is her adornment and her clothing is her armor. Feminine themes of creation, motherhood, love, protection, wisdom and strength are the foundation of my visual art. My creative process comes from how I feel my ideas can be best presented in a way that is relevant to the world around me, and that can withstand the test of time: merging my heritage, culture, sacred symbolical geometry, and Afrofuturism. I am driven by the notion of the Woman as a symbolic warrior—her battles often go unseen."
