Bitter Sweets (2022)

"Bitter Sweet" is a digital painting that encapsulates my unique perspective on fashion illustration. Fashion has always been a significant influence in my artistic journey, and this painting reflects the profound connection I see between fashion and art.
In this artwork, two beings are depicted, with one positioned in front of the other. The being behind is holding onto the being placed in front of them, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. This composition aims to convey a powerful sense of sensuality, drawing the viewer into the emotional depth of the piece.
To amplify the fashion element, both beings are adorned in garments created by Mowalola, a renowned Nigerian fashion designer. Mowalola's signature dark alternative style resonates deeply with my artistic sensibilities, making her creations a perfect fit for this artwork.
The overall concept of "Bitter Sweet" revolves around the idea of a fashion editorial set in a cosmic space. It combines the ethereal beauty of celestial elements with the edginess and allure of avant-garde fashion. The juxtaposition of cosmic and fashion elements creates a visually striking composition, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where art and fashion seamlessly intertwine.
