This surreal painting was birth from imagination. The Eyes being a combination of the iris of a human, intense and soulful , the sclera of an owl, and the eyelid of a lion, all put together to create a more intense soul piercing gaze. This piece invokes the feel of connection, bringing both fauna and flora together to form one beautiful array of life . Fantastic but thought provoking, exploring the power of the imagination to bring to life.

Adaeze Adinnu is a British-Nigerian award-winning multidisciplinary artist and the Founder and CEO of Fabloz Artistry. Based in the United Kingdom, she holds a degree in Business Management from the University of Northampton, yet it has been her early and unmistakable connection to painting that has defined her artistic journey. This instinctive passion continues to fuel her vibrant, thought-provoking practice, where oil, acrylic, mixed media, and mirrored surfaces merge to create a powerful fusion of realism and figurative expression.
A proud member of the British Art Network (BAN), Adaeze’s work has earned international acclaim, notably being chosen for the Arts To Hearts Project’s “100 Emerging Artists: Women’s Edition 2025.” Her contributions to the UK’s cultural landscape were recently celebrated when she was honored by the current Mayor of Islington (Councillor Jason Jackson) for the creation of a major portrait; the piece has since been inducted into the Islington gallery, where it hangs among the portraits of past and current mayors.
Adaeze’s art explores themes of identity, resilience, femininity, and social transformation, inviting viewers into richly layered narratives that resonate on both personal and collective levels. Each piece bursts with texture, symbolism, and bold color, speaking to a contemporary voice that confronts the complexities of the human condition head-on.
Her unique vision has been celebrated in both private and public collections worldwide, including the Chinese Cultural Centre in Abuja, Boughton Care Home in the UK, and the offices of lawmakers at Nigeria’s National Assembly. Her major commissions, such as the large-scale murals for Pepsi Cola Nigeria across retail outlets in Abuja, highlight the cultural and institutional significance of her work.
Her dynamic career reached an exciting milestone when she participated in an exhibition at the Commonwealth Secretariat for the Global Art in Medicine Fellowship in London. In this landmark event, Adaeze used her evocative paintings to inspire hope, promote cultural integration, and raise awareness, an effort that not only won her a recognition from the Commonwealth Secretariat but also brought together global leaders for an influential forum for dialogue and change.
Internationally recognized, Adaeze has been honored by UNESCO for her contributions to the arts and was recently presented with the Emerging Artist in Diaspora Award by the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA) following her participation in the Reimagining Art for Development exhibition. Her work has been featured in prominent exhibitions and publications, including shows at the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery and the Redwood Art Gallery in Dallas, TX.
