Power in the Everyday by Sophia Oshodin

Nigerian-British artist, Sophia Oshodin, uses acrylic on canvas to capture the beauty of women in moments of the everyday. Her paintings are full of colour, with female figures that feel strong, calm and confident doing the smallest things.

Sophia’s works celebrate how even small moments are avenues for quiet power, and that you can exude strength in normal, ordinary life. Especially as a woman in a society that doesn’t expect power from you.

The African art colourfully celebrates that quiet strength in everyday life. Here are some of our favourites.
