I make paintings about people, places, memory and the things we carry with us

Cultural

Narratives

*

Aishat Arowosegbe is a Bradford-based Nigerian-British artist working in digital painting and watercolour. Her practice is rooted in Yoruba cultural heritage and diasporic experience, and her subjects are almost always women.


Her signature series, Ohun Inú (That Which Is Within), is a body of large-format digital paintings that draw on Yoruba textile motifs and ancestral symbolism to explore Black womanhood, spiritual identity, and the quiet power that lives in sacred spaces.


She has exhibited across the UK and internationally, including at Saltaire Arts Trail as part of Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, and at VASW's 24th Community Art Exhibition in Virtual Reality.


Her work holds cultural memory and contemporary identity in the same frame, particularly for the Black diaspora.


Thematic Art

A little more about the practice

I am particularly interested in the space between what we inherit and what we become. Yoruba culture is an important part of that conversation for me, but so are memory, womanhood, home, change and the small experiences that shape us.



I work intuitively and allow the idea to determine the medium. Sometimes a subject needs the intensity and control of digital painting. Other times it needs the looseness of watercolour.
