Kenya Josiah
b.1994, based in London.
Kenya is a figurative artist that uses acrylic paint. Kenya’s work is rooted in exploring the diversity of Black womanhood and the beauty in narratives that have been overlooked by society. The Black women in her artwork mirror figures in her community and signify women's empowerment and self-love. Through her work, she explores dance, movement, joy and human connection experienced in daily life.
Kenya's work depicts the rich colours of the Caribbean reflecting her Jamaican and Guyanese heritage. She is hugely influenced by handwoven textiles, nature and Brazilian naive art. She intends for each painting to be a celebration of culture.
