Boluwatife Victoria Lawal

Boluwatife Victoria Lawal is a Nigerian artist whose paintings explore ideas of connection, identity and emotion through layered portraits filled with movement and flow. Working primarily with oil and acrylic, she blends colours and forms to express both resilience and tenderness. Hair often appears as a visual thread linking her subjects, symbolising strength, unity and shared experience. Her practice reflects an interest in how people relate to one another and how collective identity is built through intimacy, culture and the quiet power of presence.
