This painting captures both the beauty and melancholy in the slow, inevitable fading of memories as life evolves and environments change. A quiet reflection of how memories become a new home when growing up in the diaspora. The painting features a figure shaped by her surroundings, in a room informed by details from the artist’s first family home in Nigeria. Elements such as the curtains and rugs.
About the Artist
Duru is a figurative painter whose work leans toward the surreal, exploring memory, belonging, and diaspora. After a decade-long hiatus, she returned to oils and acrylics to reflect on displacement, distance, and the tension between abundance and lack. Her paintings evoke the feeling of missing an uninhabited home and the dissonance of living between worlds, as she works to reconcile fading memories with lived experience. Duru has recently begun exhibiting and selling work across London, including group shows at NICOLA Arts: No Limits Gallery, Of Nazareth Gallery, and the Hogan Lovells Black History Month Gala (2025).
