NEW: Sanjo Lawal's "Headstart II"

The piece is part of a series with the title "Headstart”. Through photography, Lawal's styles and uses of hues and highly contrasting colors came from the incorporation of his mother’s keen sensibility of colors, mirrored in the fabrics she wore and the flowers she cultivated in her garden.

“As a fine art photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in  Lagos, Nigeria, I draw inspiration from the rich cultural diversity of my surroundings. I blend my mother's sense of color with a raw realism and innovative use of materials to create captivating and thought-provoking artworks. Through my photography, I aim to explore the nuances of African culture, and humanity and tell stories that capture the essence of daily life.”- Sanjo Lawal
