Multicolored Expressionist Painting of Women from Ghana, "Power of a Woman"

Says Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adeniran, "In these parts of the world, women are believed to possess the ability and power to do anything and get anything. Some people even say women rule the world." She explores themes of power, using expressionism to capture the essence of several women in this composition. She draws over the image with black ink for an intricate layer that drapes over the painting like a web.
