Four years ago today, Beyoncé dropped her Lemonade visual album, in which I am honored to have contributed my art to her vision that presented Yoruba spirituality and culture so beautifully. Our culture is so rich, and has fueled my artistic imagination for my entire lifetime.
Connecting with the symbols in my art affects me and other artists because it’s a connection to one of the most profound and sophisticated systems of storytelling to ever grace the earth. I am very proud that Beyonce shared her own journey with the art of that proud tradition.

TED Talk: Often when people see my Art they call it "tribal." To Western people "tribal" is a term to describe typically Polynesian Art that is often used in tattoos and because my art is repetitive with lots of patterns people make the same assumption. However, I am Yoruba and my Art reflects my culture. The masks represent people. The different types of masks imply different things, like sizes of the mask, open eyes or closed eyes for example. Also, the patterns are narratives, they also are for movement. My style of Art is not something you see everyday and it's very frustrating when people try and tell me what my Art is or isn't. I'm thankful to @TED for letting me tell my story and share it globally. Check link in bio

Every line written on me in ink, a road on my journey.
Every weight I carry, my fathers carried first.
Every turn, a teacher.
Every root, my future.
Faith worn close, love held closer. 🙏🏾❤️

Being on the move has always been part of the work
New York → Cape Town → wherever the next story takes me.
I’m interested in what we carry between places ideas, memories, symbols, fragments of worlds yet to be built.
Luggage born from that same impulse, I carry who I am wherever I go. Drawing from the visual language of Children of Blood and Bone and the worlds we continue to imagine through art.
Movement is part of the process.
What we carry becomes part of the story.#LaoluNYC #CapeTown #ChildrenOfBloodAndBone

In the spirit of Beyoncé’s cinematic masterpiece “RENAISSANCE” 🎬✨ where the past and present collaborators of Queen Bey harmonize, featuring the iconic dance extraordinaire Amari Marshall from the no.1 ranking tour of 2023—Renaissance World Tour stepped into @thesacredroomnyc for a collaboration. Special thanks to DJ Tunez for gracing the culture with an Afrobeats classic, and props to Mathias for the genius refix. Witness the magic when creative minds come together. #renaissancefilm #renaissance #beyonce #iskaba #laolunyc #thesacredroom#thesacredartoftheori
See you at the cinema! ✨🪩🕺🏾💃🏾

If you’re gonna walk in your truth, you might as well walk in ART. 🎨👟✨
Had the absolute privilege of creating this custom piece for @majimb.o and if you know, you KNOW this one was personal. We sat and talked about our journeys, our beginnings, where we started vs. where we are now… and honestly? So proud doesn’t even cover it. 🙌🏾
Watching you turn your voice into a whole movement while staying unapologetically YOU — that’s the real art. This pair is just my way of saying I see you, I’m rooting for you, and the love for what we do? Undeniable. 👑
Walk good, Elsa. Walk royal. Walk in truth. 🔥👟
