Olivia Mae Pendergast walks the streets of Nairobi to portray, in her own way, the aura of humble people, pedestrians, and kids flying on their skateboards. The artist embraces a different, devastating, and mundane spirituality: we all have a special aura, just as we have a life and will encounter death. Olivia's paintings are a song, a melody to humanity, to the dignity that each person can be a Garden of the Hesperides, a galaxy filled with moons, stars, and comets, a botanical universe teeming with flowers and insects.

The American artist leaves nothing to chance, she doesn't paint aimlessly, she cares deeply about the gaze and every detail, but also about the background, the surroundings, and the color that frames the energy or languor of the woman posing proudly for the photo. Pastel colors, slightly spicy, with flavors that are somewhat electric. Background tones that are like brilliant spices: anise, mustard, dried orange peel, fresh ginger, mint, and tarragon.
