Oliver OKOLO Nigeria, b. 1992 – Works from €3,500 – €19,000
(19 7/10 × 15 7/10 inches)
In A flower as a gesture I, Oliver Okolo places the flower between the portrait and the act of remembrance. Held close to the body, the bloom becomes more than a symbol of beauty: it functions as a quiet gesture of presence, tenderness and impermanence. The sitter’s stillness contrasts with the organic fragility of the flowers, creating a meditation on time, identity and the traces we leave behind. As part of the A Flower as a Gesture series, the painting reflects Okolo’s interest in portraiture as a space where memory, vulnerability and human dignity are held in delicate balance.
