Let Them Say - Gele Print

In my art, I weave a tapestry of cross-cultural influences drawn from my experiences traversing Africa and the Americas, engaging with diverse individuals, and embracing the rich tapestry of heritage that surrounds us. Inspired by the kaleidoscope of humanity's uniqueness and commonalities, I find my muse in the myriad expressions of beauty, particularly embodied by African women whose diversity mirrors the boundless richness of our planet. As an artist, I feel inherently tasked with preserving and celebrating the visual narratives of my roots, serving as a custodian of heritage. Through my creations, I aim to contribute a chapter to the eternal gallery of life's splendor, offering glimpses of my corner of the world to those I encounter. I stand as a witness to the cultural currents that shape our world and the reciprocal impact we have upon it. My art serves as both a reflection of myself and a testament to the times in which I exist, capturing moments and experiences from my African upbringing. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, my work is imbued with the nuances of Africa, a testament to my origins and a celebration of the vibrant cultures that inform my identity. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on a journey of discovery, where the threads of diversity and heritage intertwine to form a vibrant tapestry of human experience.
