BEHOLD, ROYALTY.
The Nigerian Royalty Series is a collection of 12 interconnected paintings that chronicle the lives and legacies of ancient royalty figures from Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Each painting tells a unique story while revealing deliberate clues and connections that demonstrate how these royal figures were serendipitously linked by the events of their time—forming a tapestry of Nigerian history that continues to influence our nation today
Over the next 7 months, Azeez Muritadoh will be developing these stories into a series of high fidelity paintings that hope to channel the spirit of the lives and times of the royals chronicled in these stories. In the meantime, we'll be sharing one royal story every week; Directly in your inbox
