Okparavero, whose works depict the beautiful African culture, from where she
was born, which is rich in colour, tradition and style
In her varied and diverse approach to making art, the
content of her work reflects her love for nature and tradition.
Her work ranges from the simple experiences in the everyday
life, to breathtaking land and seascapes, and expressions of the faces of
subjects caught off guard. She reveals the power of language and poetry through
painting, expressing emotion through the fluidity of brush strokes, and subject
matter.
Her work takes on various forms and styles, intended to
capture a larger audience and draw the viewer in, to witness, create new
unpredictable cycles of thought and provide an experimental chance to challenge
ones perceptions, beliefs and assumptions.
