Using found and personal imagery as a starting point, Remi Ajani’s (b. 1984 London) inquisitive practice oscillates between figuration and abstraction. Her artworks evoke a serene intimacy, blending individual and collective experiences on the canvas and inviting her audience to connect with narratives that resonate with the broader human experience.
