By Uche Uguru (born 1993), Queen African Series 6, collage on canvas, 100x80cm, 2025, ©️ Uche Uguru. #womanartist #womenartists #africanartist #africanartists #art

From the artist’s Instagram: ‘The Queen African painting shows a strong and beautiful Nigerian woman. She wears a headwrap, which is a special part of Nigerian traditional clothing. Her face looks straight at the viewer with confidence.
The painting is made from small strips of paper, which creates a sense of movement. You can also see lines on her face that look like scars. In some African cultures, scars were used to identify people. But these scars can also represent the difficult challenges African women face, like emotional pain or environmental problems.
Queen African celebrates the beauty, strength, and resilience of African women. It reminds us that we should support and care for each other, and that together, we can create a better world.

As Adetutu Alabi says, "You can be anything you want to be.
Don't let your scars hold you back.”’
