SYNOPSIS
In a world where art is more than just color on canvas, Ifebunmi Emmanuel Anaiye brings a new dimension to storytelling through his "semblance realism" approach. Based in Nigeria, Ifebunmi creates portraits that not only depict the physical likeness of everyday individuals but also encapsulate their emotional and social challenges. This documentary delves into his artistic philosophy and the diverse techniques he employs to breathe life into his subjects.
Through intimate interviews and captivating visuals, we explore Ifebunmi's daily life, his passion for painting, and his personal connections with his four dogs—Brown, Echo, Marie’s, and Allies. His art is driven by a deep desire to connect with others, transcending cultural boundaries and evoking powerful responses from viewers and collectors alike.
The film also highlights Ifebunmi's charitable endeavor, Project 100, which aims to create and sell 100 artworks to fund education for African children who are deprived of schooling. By purchasing these unique pieces, supporters contribute to a cause that seeks to make a tangible difference in these children’s lives.
As Ifebunmi prepares for future exhibitions and auctions, his vision extends beyond individual success. He dreams of reigniting artistic passion in children, believing that every child is an innate artist waiting to be discovered. This documentary not only showcases his dedication to art but also his unyielding drive to make a meaningful impact on his community and the world.
