Hey Olu, welcome in!
Bold abstract work that uses light and shadow to build narrative pulls the viewer in a completely different way than representational art does. That's a strong angle.
P.S. – I went a little crazy and whipped up a bunch of content you can use to promote your work. 😄

🏆 I gave your portfolio an honest critique!
✍ I made you social posts for the next 7 days

Hey Olu! The light-and-shadow instinct doing the storytelling work is honestly the whole chase in my own frames. What pulled you toward digital as the tool for that?
The light/shadow contrast as a storytelling axis, that's a framework with a lot of room. I'm curious what shifts the balance in a piece for you. Is it mood you're chasing first, or does the contrast emerge from something else in the composition?
