About the Item

"Ode to Self" offers a striking tableau that immediately draws the viewer's attention. At its core stands an enigmatic woman exuding an aura of self-assured elegance. She is depicted wearing an ensemble that intertwines contemporary fashion with timeless grace, hinting at a deep appreciation for both tradition and modernity. Her confident stance and poised expression exude an undeniable sense of self-assurance. Olaniyi Omotayo's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the woman's attire. The intricate patterns and rich hues of her garments hint at a narrative that goes beyond aesthetics. Each fold of the fabric appears to tell a story of resilience, individuality, and inner strength. The artist's skillful play with light and shadow adds depth, making the woman's figure seem to emerge from the canvas with a captivating vivacity. Central to "Ode to Self" is the rolled book delicately held in the woman's hand. This book represents the repository of knowledge, wisdom, and self-discovery. It symbolizes the journey of introspection, enlightenment, and self-awareness that is essential in nurturing self-confidence. By holding the book close, the woman exemplifies the embrace of her own potential and the endless possibilities that come with learning and growth. "Ode to Self" transcends being a mere portrayal of a woman; it serves as a powerful representation of the inherent potential within each individual. The artwork is a call to celebrate the intrinsic strength and beauty that can be harnessed through self-belief and empowerment. By presenting a woman as the central figure, Omotayo challenges societal norms and underscores the importance of women embracing their self-worth and self-confidence. As part of the larger "Self Confidence" series, "Ode to Self" becomes even more meaningful. This collection of artworks, with each piece exploring the multifaceted aspects of self-assurance, creates a cohesive narrative of empowerment and introspection. "Ode to Self" seamlessly fits into this series, acting as a poignant reminder that self-confidence is a journey of continual growth and acceptance, where wisdom plays a significant role. In "Ode to Self," Olaniyi Omotayo skillfully woven together elements of elegance, wisdom, and empowerment to create a visually enchanting and intellectually stimulating artwork. The portrayal of a gorgeously dressed woman holding a rolled book serves as an embodiment of the symbiotic relationship between self-confidence and wisdom. As viewers stand before this masterpiece, they are invited to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery and embrace the strength that comes from within. "Ode to Self" transcends the boundaries of canvas and brush strokes; it becomes a celebration of human potential and the significance of self-assurance in our lives. Olaniyi Omotayo's artistic prowess shines brilliantly as he not only captures the physical beauty of his subject but also delves into the depths of human emotions and experiences. "Ode to Self" is more than just an artwork; it is an ode to the indomitable spirit of self-confidence and the boundless wisdom that accompanies it.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Olaniyi Omotayo (born 1995) is a self-taught artist who has always loved drawing right from his childhood. He was born and brought up in Ondo State in the southwestern region of Nigeria. He was fond of drawing on every surface he laid his hand on when he was a child. His parents were not in support of his drawing attitude while he was growing up because he used to mess up his notebooks and textbooks with sketches and scribbles. Despite the discouragement and punishment he got from his teachers and parents, he didn't give up on his Passion for art. He finished his course of study (Business Administration) at the University as the best-graduating student in his department and with first-class honors in 2018. In spite of his academic feat, he didn't abandon his passion for "art". He moved to Lagos in 2019 and continued as a full-time artist after. Olaniyi has exhibited with several galleries both at home and abroad in the past few years.
