Sanctuary III Painting

My name is Igwenagu Franklin Ifeanyi, I'm a self-taught visual artist based in Nigeria. My art is a journey into the intricate layers of human emotions, determination and beauty, expressed through imaginative and symbolic storytelling. I aim to capture the essence of what it means to feel, to struggle, and to find strength in vulnerability, using my work as a mirror to reflect the layers of the human experience. I find inspiration in the everyday moments of observations, the rhythms of life around me, and the rich cultural fabric of my environment. By weaving these elements into my art, I strive to create pieces that are deeply rooted in authenticity and originality. My goal is to invite viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with the deeper meanings within each piece, sparking conversations about identity, emotion, and the shared threads that bind us all. For me, art is not just about creating something visually appealing; it’s about telling stories, challenging perspectives, and celebrating the beauty of our shared humanity. Every stroke, every color, and every symbol is intentional, carrying a piece of my journey and the world I see around me.
