Description
I painted to explore vulnerability, presence, and quiet contemplation. The piece shows a woman seen from behind, standing at a balcony railing looking out toward the sky. Her sheer, flowing dress acts as a veil between her inner world and the open space around her.
I used thick impasto strokes and a palette knife to give the light, fabric, and figure a physical, sculptural feel. The warm earth tones of her skin contrast with the bright yellows below and the cool blues and lavenders above. This work is about the courage to stand in the light—unfiltered, present, and watching the horizon with quiet confidence.
Presentation
Godfrey Afebuame is a Nigerian-born, Niagara-based artist with over three decades of professional practice and a distinguished academic background from Auchi Polytechnic. A master colourist and recipient of the Fasuyi Prize for Best Student in Painting, he is renowned for bold, impressionistic compositions that emphasize physical depth and energy. His signature style is defined by heavy impasto applications, where he utilizes a palette knife to build rich, sculptural textures that bring a three-dimensional quality to the canvas. While often centering on the female form, his work addresses broad global narratives, including peace, economics, and environmental sustainability.
A member of the Society of Nigerian Artists, Afebuame's work has been showcased at premier international venues such as the Maison de France and Signature Gallery. His paintings are held in distinguished private and corporate collections across Nigeria and internationally, reflecting a career marked by both critical acclaim and technical evolution. Recently, he has expanded his repertoire to include the delicate, luminous qualities of watercolor, continuing to evolve his practice as a significant contributor to the Canadian contemporary art landscape.
