Bibianna African Art Collective Showcases Faith’s I Am Woman Series at Fresh Art Fair, London
This weekend, Bibianna African Art Collective is excited to present works by Nigerian artist Faith O Sidneu at the Fresh Art Fair, Alexandra Palace, London. As part of our curated selection, we are showcasing Faith’s celebrated I Am Woman series, a body of work that quietly yet powerfully explores femininity, identity and presence in contemporary Africa.
Faith O Sidneu is a contemporary Nigerian painter based in Lagos, whose expressive works examine the modern woman through simplified forms, bold colour and confident silhouette. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, Faith’s paintings centre on the female body, her posture, her style and her quiet authority. Faces are often obscured or softened, shifting attention away from individual identity and towards emotion, gesture and shared experience. The result is work that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Although her artwork radiates visibility and strength, Faith herself is something of a recluse. Operating under a pseudonym, she deliberately avoids publicity, interviews and public appearances, preferring solitude and introspection over recognition. She rarely attends exhibitions or meets collectors, choosing instead to remain behind the canvas and allow the work to speak for itself. For Faith, art should be encountered without distraction, free from the mythology of the artist, and grounded purely in emotional connection.
Bibianna African Art Collective is privileged to represent Faith’s work internationally, with the I Am Woman series forming a cornerstone of her practice. These paintings celebrate the stylish modern woman, powerful, enigmatic and beautifully composed. Faith’s use of colour is both vibrant and restrained, creating compositions that feel contemporary, elegant and timeless.
At Fresh Art Fair, visitors will encounter works that are visually striking yet quietly reflective, paintings that invite you to pause, to look again, and to see strength expressed not through spectacle, but through stillness and form.
Faith’s work is more than decorative; it is a subtle meditation on presence, identity and what it means to be seen, or to choose not to be.
Come and visit us this weekend at stand D7 and see these beautiful pieces in person, along with contemporary African art from other talented artists such as Ifeoluwa Kalejaiye, Olamide Ogunade, Achike Anayo, Emmanuel Ugwu and many more...
