Meet the Artist

Yetunde Alabi is an emerging contemporary mixed media artist working at the intersection of figurative surrealism and anime-inspired visual storytelling. Her work reflects a growing voice within a new generation of self-directed artists who merge digital-age influences with traditional fine art sensibilities. Entirely self-taught, she has spent years refining a practice grounded in discipline, experimentation, and a deep personal commitment to visual expression.

Alabi’s work frequently explores themes of emotional duality, inner identity, and imagined realities, often portraying figures that exist between strength and vulnerability. Her compositions combine clean line work with layered textures and symbolic elements, creating pieces that feel both modern and timeless. Influenced by animation, portraiture, and contemporary surrealist movements, she creates work that resonates with audiences drawn to narrative-driven figurative art.

A Howard University graduate, Alabi represents a growing class of interdisciplinary creatives building independent artistic careers outside traditional pathways. As her body of work continues to expand, she remains focused on developing pieces that challenge perception, evoke curiosity, and invite viewers into visually rich worlds shaped by both memory and imagination.
