Franklin Ifeanyi Igwenagu, Sanctuary IV, 2025 Oil on canvas 30 × 40 × 1 1/2 in | 76.2 × 101.6 × 3.8 cm Unique work Includes a Certificate of Authenticity This work of art is the fourth in the series titled “SANCTUARY”My idea was to explore the concept of retreat and protection. Each painting in the series shows a human figure wrapped up in a fabric leaving out the face, the flowing fabric acts as a shield, offering the subject a safe haven where they can pause, reflect, and find peace.The series highlights the importance of having a space of refuge, a sanctuary where one can heal, grow and prepare for life’s next steps. Both the colors that can brighten up a space and emotions portrayed is an invite to connect with the idea of finding comfort and strength within moments of solitude
