About the Item

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Signed on the front side and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The artwork is a striking and vibrantly colorful painting that captures the viewer's attention through its bold and dynamic use of patterns and hues. At the heart of the composition is the back view of a figure with richly dark skin and intricately styled hair adorned with four distinctive, twisted braids. The central parted hair and neatly arranged braids are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing the textural contrast between the figure's dark hair and the vivid backdrop. The background is a bright, eye-catching red adorned with a complex, swirling abstract pattern in complementary shades of lighter red. This background not only provides a stark contrast to the figure but also enhances the overall depth and dimensionality of the piece. The choice of red signifies passion and energy, bringing a sense of vibrancy to the entire composition. The figure is draped in a yellow garment adorned with a delicate floral pattern, featuring green leaves and small blue flowers, adding another layer of intricate design and color contrast. The yellow garment pops against the dark skin tone and red background, creating a balanced, harmonious composition that is both visually stimulating and aesthetically pleasing. Artistically, this work stands out due to its masterful integration of color and pattern, alongside its celebration of cultural hairstyles and garment traditions. The anonymous nature of the figure—viewed from behind—invites viewers to project their narratives onto the scene, making the artwork universally relatable while also being deeply personal. Overall, this painting is a dynamic and evocative piece that skillfully combines vibrant colors, detailed patterns, and cultural richness, producing an artwork that is both captivating and thought-provoking.
