Temi OG Take the lead Charcoal Pencil and gold leaf on paper 2022 Lagos, Nigeria - SHIPS FROM Lagos, Nigeria This art piece shows and elephant behind a person, the elephant is practically guiding her through her journey in life. Traditionally, Elephants are considered a symbol of good luck, wisdom, fertility, and protection and in Christianity, elephant symbolism denotes temperance, chastity and patience. Hopefully you can resonate with this piece. I’m Temi OG, a Nigerian artist with a BSc in Accounting. My love for art began in primary school, but I started my professional journey in 2021 after being inspired by Kelvin Okafor’s hyperrealistic portraits. My work has since evolved into figurative nude art that explores emotions, mental health, psychology, and human experience, often using blue for its strength, calmness, and personal meaning. I’ve exhibited locally and internationally, including NFT NYC (2022), WXw3 Paris (2023), FLUID at Kenga Gallery, Countervail Gallery Abuja, a billboard exhibition in Australia, and Rough Cut Press Magazine. 92x 62.5
