Artist statement
"Solace" is a striking piece of art created by Oluwafemi Akanmu that features a woman in a very relaxed position. The painting captures a serene moment of a woman enjoying a moment of peace and solace, which is something that is becoming increasingly rare in our busy lives. The painting depicts a woman sitting, her arms placed on the lamp table and her legs crossed. She appears to be in a state of complete relaxation, lost in her thoughts, and completely at ease with herself.
One of the most striking things about "Solace" is the way that Akanmu has used color to convey the woman's mood. The background is a mix of deep blues and white that are reminiscent of a calm and tranquil sea. This sets the tone for the painting, and immediately creates a sense of calm and serenity. The woman's skin is painted with warm tones that are both inviting and calming. The soft black and warm browns make the woman appear as if she is basking in the warmth of the sun, which adds to the overall sense of relaxation that the painting conveys.
Another aspect of "Solace" that stands out is the attention to detail that Akanmu has paid to the woman's face. Her expression is peaceful, and her eyes are expressive, which suggests that she is at peace with her own thoughts. Akanmu has painted her with a delicate touch, which creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. This is a woman who is completely comfortable in her own skin, and who is unafraid to show her vulnerability.
Overall, "Solace" is a beautiful painting that captures a moment of peace and tranquility. Akanmu has used color, composition, and attention to detail to create a sense of relaxation and comfort. The woman in the painting is a reminder that in our busy lives, it is important to take a moment to pause, reflect, and find solace in the simple things. It is a powerful and evocative work of art that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt the need for a moment of peace and quiet in their lives.
