Probable Igbo woman
This a portrait that symbolises the origins of the Igbo culture inspired by the archived Igbo photographs from the 1900s. It is also influenced by “The Crisis” dating back to the 1900 which is “a record for the darker people which provided a voice to highlight the prejudice faced by people of colour as well as provide a platform for expression.

Meet the Artist
London, United KingdomI am a self taught artist who has seen art as something I wanted to see myself improve in, a stress reliever and a gift. I also work with different media but ideally I enjoy traditional painting. As an artist it is essential for me to explore and use different materials in order to convey ideas and address important topics. I am a fine art student at UAL Chelsea College of Arts in London. I have created illustrative paintings for an African literary magazine called Illino Media. They bring together African creatives, poets, novelist and visual artists to bring to life literary works made by Africans. I mostly create the illustrations for short stories when I’m not working on a painting. I also teach people of all ages at an art studio as well as bring peoples creative visions and ideas to reality!
