Female Artists Showcased at Spanish for Executives: Celebrating Women in Art. "My...nas Scheme"

Adaesi Ukairo translates the movement of energy into tangible sculptures through her artistic process. Using hammers and stakes, she shapes and molds flat sheets of metal to create highly-textured and patinated pieces of artwork that are distinct and unique. Currently, copper and brass are her preferred materials due to their warm reflectivity and malleability, which enable her to experiment and explore creatively.

Adaesi expresses her contemplations and observations through her physical language, seeking to capture the fragmented energies that connect us all in a harmonious form that is balanced and structured. Her sculptures, such as Undule, Phlat, Miri, and Crush, embody this expression.

Her art challenges the history of patriarchy and the abuse of power through gender, and she believes in equality and fights for her rights.
