Artwork location: Nigeria
This painting is inspired by the Japanese manga art style. I create African characters and tell stories from Africa's past, focusing on the Benin Kingdom during the Renaissance.
In this artwork, the artist shows the level of civilization in the Benin Kingdom by capturing its grand structures in the background. The main figure is a woman with Benin scarification marks on her forehead and cheeks. She wears a Renaissance-style ruffle collar, blending African heritage with European influence. She holds a cat, adding a sense of mystery and elegance. The painting combines abstract realism with historical elements to bring the rich culture of Benin to life.
