Hey there, I'm Princess Karibo, a digital artist originally from Nigeria but now based in the vibrant city of London. With a distinctive stylized approach characterized by big-eyed figures, my art celebrates the beauty and diversity of black women, capturing them in everyday moments with a spotlight on their natural hair in various styles. Through my work, I aim to promote representation and empowerment, showcasing the uniqueness and strength of black girls. When not immersed in my digital creations, you can find me indulging in my love for reading or getting my hands dirty as a ceramist.

Having exhibited my art in notable galleries across London, Paris, and Turkey, I've had the privilege of collaborating on projects like "Zara's Wash Day," a book series that resonated deeply with me. This experience, coupled with my master's degree in illustration, has further enriched my artistic journey. I take pride in infusing storytelling elements into my work, breathing life into narratives that reflect the rich tapestry of black culture and experiences.

Drawing inspiration from the beauty of everyday life, fellow artists who inspire me, and the vast realm of social media, I thrive in my studio, translating visions onto canvases or molding clay into expressive forms. Ultimately, I aspire to leave a lasting impact through my art, hoping that my pieces evoke emotions and resonate with viewers long after they've encountered them. Oh, and when I'm not immersed in the creative process, you'll likely find me accompanied by my feline companion, Oreo, adding a touch of whiskered charm to my artistic world.
