The painting titled "Poised" depicts a black African woman gazing confidently at the viewer at a right angle. The painting is rendered with oil on Ankara fabric, which adds texture and depth to the artwork. The woman is dressed in a stunning lemon-green dress that complements her dark skin tone. Her posture exudes confidence and grace, as she stands tall with her head held high. Her gaze suggests that she is not afraid to be seen and that she is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way.

Overall, the painting captures the beauty and strength of black African women and celebrates their resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

About Artist:
Bakare Babatunde Oluwadamilare was born in Ogun State, Nigeria. He completed his high school education in Lagos State and later pursued his tertiary education in Kwara State, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Library and Information Science.

From a young age, he had a passion for art and was a self-taught artist. Over the years, he experimented with various mediums, but his favorite mediums are oil and acrylic on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara. His subject matter focuses on figure and portraiture, which aims to portray human emotions, experiences, and challenges. His paintings offer a unique perspective, interpreting his thoughts on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara.

Recently, he started working on a series of paintings on Ankara fabrics as support. He was fascinated by the vibrant colors and patterns of the Ankara fabric, which inspired this discovery. He has participated in various art competitions and exhibitions, including the iCreate skill festival in 2017 and the ijakadi festival as an exhibitor. His works have been sold both in Nigeria and abroad, and he continues to create thought-provoking pieces that captivate and inspire his viewers.
