Ojima Abalaka’s Work Depicts Black Girl Serenity

Every time, we walk past Ojima’s art we are enveloped by a sense of peace and serenity. Her illustrations are surreal depictions of bliss and being in harmony with all the elements and situations floating around you. Her art is a golden dream of serendipity and pseudo awareness that comes with being alive, living consciously and harmonizing all your parts into a whole.
Ojima Abalaka is an illustrator and writer who loves using these art forms to tell stories. She is interested in communicating ideas through the interaction of words, images, and design. When she is not writing or drawing, she can be found studying for her law degree or eating a donut.

Waiting on summer like #illustration
