Art is often a celebration of beauty, and Olaosun Oluwapelumi's artwork "Black Beauty" is a prime example of this. The artwork depicts a woman with a sophisticated hairstyle, standing sideways on a colorful floral patterned background. The title of the artwork, "Black Beauty," suggests that the piece is a celebration of black women and their unique beauty.
The woman in the artwork is portrayed with a sense of grace and elegance, with her hair styled in a complex pattern that reflects the skill and artistry of black hairdressing. The use of vibrant colors in the background, with the intricate floral patterns, creates a sense of energy and vitality as if the woman is surrounded by a garden of beauty.
The composition of the artwork is well-balanced, with the woman positioned off-center, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The use of negative space around the figure adds to the sense of elegance and sophistication as if the woman is standing in a grand hall or a royal garden.
One of the most striking aspects of "Black Beauty" is the way that it celebrates black women and their unique beauty. The artwork challenges traditional beauty standards, which often prioritize Eurocentric features, and instead highlights the beauty of black women's features, such as their hair and skin tone.
In addition to celebrating black beauty, the artwork also speaks to the power of self-expression and individuality. The woman's hairstyle is a reflection of her personality and her sense of style, and the artwork encourages viewers to embrace their unique features and express themselves in their way.
Overall, "Black Beauty" is a stunning work of art that celebrates the beauty of black women and their unique features. Its message of self-expression and individuality is a powerful one, reminding viewers to embrace their beauty and celebrate the beauty of those around them.

Her dedication to self-teaching has allowed her to develop her skills in pencil and painting and has given her the confidence to express herself through her art.
Recently she used Green and Black in her works which symbolize peace and tranquility, as well as hope, harmony, and optimism. Black is a color of many sentiments. It could be associated with grief, mourning, or the occult. Mystery, bleakness, heaviness, depression, rebellion, fear.
