Temi OG Ìyá ní wúrà 721 (mother is gold) Charcoal Pencil and gold leaf on paper 2023 Lagos, Nigeria - SHIPS FROM Lagos, Nigeria She had sleepless nights in order to watch my infant head, and she built a cradle for me so I could have a blissful rest. She loves me unconditionally, even though I give her reasons not to. They say God is a woman, I sure can testify to that cause She's my goddess. Ìyá ni wúrà. 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. 62.5 x 92
