Artwork location: Nigeria
The centerpiece of "Woman of Valor" is undoubtedly the woman's majestic afro hairstyle. In this artwork, the afro becomes a symbol of pride, cultural identity, and natural beauty. Historically associated with the Black community, the afro has been a powerful emblem of resistance, self-expression, and defiance against societal standards of beauty. By prominently featuring the afro, Edwin highlights the strength and resilience of women who embrace their heritage and challenge conventional norms.
The woman's stern gaze in "Woman of Valor" captures the viewer's attention and evokes a sense of determination and self-assuredness. The intensity of her gaze serves as a reminder that strength does not always manifest through loud or overt actions. It can also be found in the quiet confidence and unwavering resolve of an individual who knows her worth and stands firm in her beliefs. Edwin skillfully portrays this inner strength, encouraging viewers to recognize and celebrate their own uniqueness.
One of the most remarkable aspects of "Woman of Valor" is its celebration of individuality and authenticity. The woman depicted in the artwork stands as a testament to the power of embracing one's true self, regardless of societal expectations or pressures. By representing her with pride, Edwin inspires viewers to embrace their own identities and celebrate their personal journeys. The artwork encourages individuals to recognize the inherent strength and beauty that comes from being true to themselves.
Edwin's attention to detail and mastery of his craft infuses "Woman of Valor" with emotional depth and resonance. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow adds depth and dimension to the woman's features, capturing her inner world and inviting viewers to connect with her on an emotional level. The artwork becomes a mirror that reflects the strength and determination within each viewer, inspiring them to embrace their own unique paths and stand tall in the face of adversity.
Crixtover Edwin, known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, aims to uplift and empower through his art. In "Woman of Valor," he celebrates the strength, resilience, and authenticity of women who defy societal expectations. Edwin's intention is to inspire viewers to embrace their own identities, recognize their inherent worth, and stand confidently in their truth.

Presentation
Crixtover Edwin (b. 1996) is a Nigerian multidisciplinary visual artist specializing in figurative painting with a concentration on portraiture and visual emotions. His paintings are focused on depicting a celebratory narrative and representation of people of African descent.
In allowing the intricacies of his subject's appearance, poses, and symbolic identity to be the sole focus, he emphasizes drawing attention to the distinctive celebration of people of color by addressing their image, status, and relevance in contemporary culture. Crixtover art usually constitutes a similar approach in terms of each subject depiction with attention to detail, body language, and visual emotionalism employing a signature Basquiat technique to the background and features of his subjects' persona and cultural symbols in a bid to represent black identity in contemporary art.
The distinct difference however is always black representation as people of color are placed at the forefront of his art for a purpose, specifically to denote power, representation, and celebration of their identity.
Crixtover believes portraits hold the potential to give power and relevance to those who are painted in a certain way and aims to use his art to create a bridge of beautiful works of art that reflects representation on black people who never got represented before, blurring the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation while using people of color as his subjects from ordinary everyday people to well-known individuals yet still showing their strength, royalty, beauty, and unapologetic aura highlighting what it feels like to be young, black and celebrated, a topic he believes needs to be exhibited enough throughout galleries and exhibitions.
