Lara-El (Eulogy to African mothers). Print

My art is characterized by a fusion of conventional and abstract forms. This merger is as a result of thoughts that capture an outpour of social commentaries and narratives from everyday lives, enveloped into ideas and executed into a conceptual and media experimentation The strong fascination with facial expressions, the hidden codes and signals sent by the human eyes, is pivotal to my ability to explore and document human and their experiences in my immediate environment. It is also a proof of my inspiration. My ideas are registered using acrylic, charcoal and oil colors experimentally with a fusion of abstraction and portraiture to bridge the gap between my concepts, with coded motifs mostly on the background. My creative thirst, gives an experimental approach in my works, by breaking down the realistic facial expressions, into perceived weaknesses, strength, joy as much as I can, feel into absolute interpretations of individuals living in a wounded space. The physicality of my works carry the empathy for my homeland (Nigeria).
