About the Item

"Portrait of Willy" by Samson Tolulope Daramola is a captivating artwork that masterfully captures the essence and personality of a young lady named Willy. Daramola's artistic prowess is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the expressive portrayal of his subject. The title, "Portrait of Willy," suggests an intimate exploration of the individual's character, and Daramola excels in bringing Willy to life on the canvas. Through skillful brushstrokes and a keen understanding of light and shadow, the artist creates a lifelike representation that goes beyond mere visual likeness, delving into the emotional and psychological depth of the subject. The choice of the portrait as a genre allows Daramola to showcase his ability to convey not only physical features but also the inner essence of Willy. The artist's use of color, composition, and form work in harmony to communicate a narrative that invites viewers to connect with the person behind the image. "Portrait of Willy" serves as a testament to Daramola's artistic versatility and his ability to infuse his work with a sense of individuality and humanity. It invites the audience to contemplate the unique story and character of Willy, prompting reflection on the diversity and richness of the human experience as interpreted through the lens of the artist. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Tolulope Daramola [b. 1993, Ekiti, Nigeria] is a self-taught contemporary visual artist working and living in Abuja, Nigeria. Up until his University days, his early childhood was around family in Ekiti State. His study of English and Literary Studies at the Ekiti State University; Ado-Ekiti, alongside communal experiences with family remains the foundation upon which his artworks are layered - irrespective of color, form, or technique. His mastery of acrylics, oils, charcoal, pastels, and other mediums makes every stroke unique in his interpretation of people and immediate surroundings. Tolulope believes in painting out the suppressed experiences and untold stories of everyday people sometimes swept under the carpets of reality. He devised a means of using sewing buttons, which pays homage to his mother who used to be a tailor; He found solace and connection in the sounds of her old sewing machine, which served as a meeting point for him and his siblings during their early years. This connection led him to explore the metaphorical essence of sewing buttons and the profound symbolism it carries, which he has recently introduced into his works. Buttons, traditionally used to fasten garments and fabrics together, have now become a powerful symbol of unity in Tolulope's pieces. While we may inhabit different corners of the world, with diverse cultures, beliefs, and norms, there is a fundamental thread that binds us all together as human beings, the ties we share as humans are what the button signifies in his works. With an array of well-traveled works, Tolulope has been part of exhibitions both locally and internationally, such as his first exhibition in 2021 at the Art Pantheon Gallery in Lagos, Nigeria. This was followed by a virtual display at the Painters Painting Paintings [PPP] Gallery, United Kingdom. He spends his spare time in-between meeting people, asking questions, and traveling.
