In When I Make My First Million, Ebenezer Akinola depicts a young man seated on a boat against a calm blue horizon. The relaxed pose, sunglasses and maritime setting suggest leisure, aspiration and the projection of a desired future. Working in oil on canvas, Akinola uses controlled figuration and a cool palette to explore Black presence, youth culture and self-fashioning. The work will particularly appeal to collectors seeking contemporary African figuration with psychological depth and a strong sense of narrative.
