About the artwork
Sìsì Èkó—translated as “Miss Lagos” in Yoruba—is a striking homage to the vibrancy of Lagos, Nigeria, and the women who embody its elegance, resilience, and spirit. The work reflects Anthony Azekwoh’s deep connection to his roots, celebrating the cultural essence of Lagosian women as both trendsetters and symbols of the city’s dynamic energy. Through its subject, Sìsì Èkó bridges the personal and the collective, offering a universal celebration of black identity and pride.
Azekwoh’s signature digital technique, which emulates the depth and texture of oil painting, creates a tactile, almost tangible quality. The vibrant colors and layered textures immerse the viewer in a piece that feels at once timeless and innovative, blurring the boundaries between tradition and technology. Sìsì Èkó is not only a visual
“Art is magic—it forces us to look outside ourselves. It changes our perception, and that, in turn, changes the world.”
