About The Artwork

This striking piece is a celebration of cultural richness and personal identity. At the heart of the artwork is a powerful portrayal of an African woman, whose gaze is both alluring and expressive of a serene strength. Adorning her head is a luxurious cobalt blue headwrap, (called 'Gele' in West Africa) rendered in sumptuous textures that seem to dance with life. The headwrap, a symbol of grace and wisdom, is a striking contrast against the fiery, abstract backdrop that surrounds her. Large, lustrous gold earrings dangle elegantly, complementing her dark, radiant skin and the earthy tones of her makeup. Each texture builds upon her dignified poise, while the vivid background imbues the painting with an almost spiritual warmth. This piece was born from the artist's longing to feel a touch of home, having been away for a long time, and a phone call from home reminded her to never forget her heritage. The piece is her signature to that reminder. Perfect for collectors who appreciate bold statements and cultural depth, this painting is not just a visual feast; it's a homage to the enduring beauty and spirit of African heritage. Offered for sale, this piece promises to be a conversation starter and a cherished treasure that celebrates diversity and the richness of the human tapestry.

Bernice U. originally from Nigeria and now residing in London, Canada, is a self-taught contemporary artist who has always harboured a strong creative spirit. Born with an inclination for art, she made do with everyday materials to express herself, crafting sculptures from wet mud and sewing clothes for her dolls, even composing music. After moving to Canada, Bernice found new inspiration in her culture shift and her experiences as a Black woman outside familiar surroundings. Her art reflects the 'curves' of life's emotional landscape—joy, growth, and struggle—mirrored in nature, human personalities, and relationships. These themes are woven through her work, which serves as a form of expression for her thoughts and feelings as a black immigrant woman. Through her creations, she aims to connect with others, share her experiences, and foster understanding and empathy, using her art to communicate what words cannot.
