The regal woman- an emporium of strength, power, and beauty. In my journey within the women’s world, one thing is certain, their boldness, grace, and poise are significantly evident, the regal women dress to command respect, so in this piece, I portray a woman in her prime age who is full of femininity and power, I reflect on the multifaceted nature of womanhood and the enduring spirit that defines her beauty. This woman, in this composition, posing in a detailed environment, depicts her world and her inner complexity, which means she blooms wherever she sets foot. This composition serves as a tribute to the diversity and strength of women across cultures.
Why collect this work?
Blocklike colour patches spread across figure, clothing, plant and setting, while firm contours preserve the seated woman’s commanding presence. Regality appears deliberately assembled rather than merely declared.
- Okunade states that his practice examines women’s strength and social experience. In this work, that intention finds visible support in the subject’s upright pose, direct gaze and dominant scale.
- The figure occupies nearly the full height of the composition. Her red garment and pale skirt stand against a dark modular ground, while the plant forms a smaller vertical counterpart rather than simple decoration.
- Catalogued as acrylic on canvas, the painting uses sharply separated areas of colour. Acrylic can facilitate such opaque, bounded shapes, though the photograph cannot establish the physical texture or layering of the surface.
- The painting provides a focused case for considering how portraiture constructs authority: posture and dress establish status, while the repeated rectangles make figure and environment parts of the same visual order.
