Introducing “Date Night,” an exquisite artwork by the accomplished Nigerian artist Aliu Olatunji, available for acquisition at Artkofa online art gallery. This original mixed media masterpiece, expertly composed using charcoal, acrylic, and oil on canvas, presents a captivating fusion of abstract realism and storytelling.
In “Date Night,” Olatunji transports us into a realm of emotions and memories, expertly capturing the essence of a significant moment.
