Oya is one of the most powerful African Goddesses (Orishas). A Warrior-Queen, much of Oya’s power is rooted in the natural world; She is the Goddess of thunder, lightning, tornadoes, winds, rainstorms and hurricanes. A Fire Goddess, it is Oya who brings rapid change and aids us in both inner and outer transformation. Oya is the protectress of women and patron of feminine leadership. Fiercely loving, She is wildly unpredictable, passionate, fearless, sensual and independent.My art just like Oya, is here to evoke change  challenge perceptions, stereotypes and promote self love and care.My name is Karen Alleyne, I am a London based artist who specialise in Acrylic on Canvas painting. My work explores the plurality and complexity of the African diaspora in all of it’s forms.My work looks at the concept of identity but also space and how we react and identify with the natural world around us. The eclectic mix of my work, in itself challenges the concept of afrocentric art and the entire juxtaposition   of my art is centered around change and shift.
