Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle

Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle stages the woman as an intergalactic heroine: powerful, sensual, timeless. Her vibrant collages merge Afrofuturism, fashion, and myth – telling a new story of female empowerment. 

Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle's art is mirror, manifesto – and vision of the future. In her vivid digital and mixed-media collages, she creates icons of a new era. Women as mythical warriors: proud, beautiful, unwavering. Not merely imagined, but visualized.

Her unmistakable signature lies in the fusion of fashion aesthetics, Afrofuturist narratives, and personal biography. The Kenyan-American artist, trained at the Royal College of Art (London), lives in Paris and works at the intersection of art and fashion design. Her visual worlds are shaped by cultural heritage, urban life – and a fascination with transformation.

In her work, opposites meet: classical elegance and futuristic elements, ornamental opulence and digital technique. Muthiga-Oyekunle brings together what seemingly doesn't belong – creating new visual identities and spaces for thought. Her heroines are not depictions, but distilled expressions of female experience. They fill the gaps left by history, demand new perspectives – and wear their strength with ease.
