A Fruitful Mother is a tribute to the sacred beauty of motherhood, capturing the pregnant form as a sculptural masterpiece. This painting elevates the anatomy of an expecting mother, emphasizing the curves, weight, and grace of creation itself. The body is rendered as if chiseled from stone, a timeless monument to fertility, strength, and the quiet resilience of life-giving forces.

The choice of oil pastel allows for soft, blended transitions, mimicking the organic textures of skin, while acrylic paint builds depth and contrast, reinforcing the sculptural illusion. The interplay between these mediums creates a tactile, almost three-dimensional presence, as if the figure is emerging from the canvas—both grounded and ethereal.

Beyond form, A Fruitful Mother, speaks to the duality of pregnancy: the vulnerability and power, the anticipation and transformation. It invites the viewer to consider the body not just as a vessel but as a living testament to creation itself.

This work is meant to evoke reverence—a reminder of the silent artistry within the human form, where every curve tells a story of endurance, love, and renewal.

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:
