Find the eyes first. They are there, in a face turned straight toward you, but Mayowa Enoch Aiyedogbon has poured black and white marbling over every feature. This makes the eyes sink into shadow and the mouth dissolve into swirls that run down the neck. Behind the head, lilies open in teal, pink and pale blue against deep violet. A single black sphere hangs beside the cheek like an earring or a small dark moon.

All the colour belongs to the background. The person at the centre has gone monochrome, half-hidden in a pattern of their own. Camouflage is a portrait of the everyday skill of blending in: being present and unseen at once, protected and erased by the same disguise. How much of yourself to show, and to whom, is a question the picture leaves with you.

The artist

Mayowa Enoch Aiyedogbon

Yoruba · Lagos, Nigeria · 7 works on Raknida

Mayowa Enoch Aiyedogbon, who works as Ai_mayor, is a digital artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. He tells stories about himself and his culture through colour, he says. Working in Photoshop and Affinity, he makes expressive digital works rooted in identity, memory and everyday life. He often sets faces and figures among flowers, marbled surfaces and fabric pattern. He describes his art as personal and bold, a visual language where colour carries feeling. Each piece becomes a story that feels both intimate and collective.
