**Title:** *Ewa ‘Goyin and Bread*
**Medium:** Acrylic, Oil Pastel, and Charcoal on Canvas

The painting captures two street hawkers side by side — one selling golden, crusty bread, and the other stirring a pot of rich, saucy Ewa ‘Goyin (locally cooked beans). Bold acrylic strokes bring the scene to life, while oil pastels add a glistening texture to the food. Charcoal outlines the figures, emphasizing years of hard work. The background fades into abstract swirls of green forestry, symbolizes a fruitful land, centering the hawkers as symbols of resilience and tradition. The piece honors their quiet strength, highlighting the beauty in everyday survival and community through vivid, textured storytelling. As a way to celebrate women’s day, I believe artist need to appreciate the common folks.

Cyril Oluwamuyiwa Emmanuel alias X the Villain, is a contemporary conceptual and performance artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. Drawing heavily from his Yoruba heritage and Egyptian ancestry, Cyril's work is deeply rooted in culture, reflected in his use of palm oil for paintings, and charcoal for sculptures.
Self-taught and inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, Tehching Hsieh, Yinka Shonibare, and Jean Michel Basquiat, Cyril developed a distinctive style that explores African identities, cultures, and global history. His artworks often depict society's outcasts, addressing themes such as identity crisis, discrimination, and mental health. As an advocate for human rights and environmental sustainability, he aims to create immersive and interactive experiences accessible to all, including individuals with disabilities.
In the realm of performance art, X the Villain’s work is a visceral exploration of societal fractures caused by discrimination, racism, and segregation. He immerses himself in the raw narratives of these issues, pushing the boundaries of performance art to provoke profound introspection. Through his performances, he aspires to dismantle preconceptions, instigate uncomfortable conversations, and inspire collective reckoning with the complexities of our shared humanity. Every gesture and movement is a deliberate act aimed at breaking down the barriers that divide us, urging audiences to confront the uncomfortable truths embedded in our social fabric.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in ArtMajeur Magazine:
