Haneefah Adam is a medical scientist and lifestyle blogger behind muslimahanie.com.ng
but what we love most is her amazing take on food with her food art
pieces.
She recently shared these food art photos as submission for the #TechMeetsArtNG
competition, sponsored by Samsung Mobile Nigeria and Rele Gallery. Her work is visually appealing yet relatable, inspired by popular bits of Nigeria and our culture.
Inspired by the true African beauty, Haneefah has used all the ingredients of the South East Nigerian delicacy called Ogbono Soup, to create a portrait of an African woman with vibrant colours.
This next piece needs no introduction. Here she uses her art to celebrate a pioneer and a Nigerian icon, Fela Kuti.
Inspired by our rich Nigerian culture which features and celebrates
indigenous music and dance, the hibiscus plant (Zobo) is used in three
ways, as a paint, as droplets in it’s liquid form and the dried purple
Zobo leaf on it’s own. – Haneefah
This last one got her recognised by
British Nigerian Star Wars actor John Boyega. “The Jollof art was
inspired by John Boyega’s tweets about fried plantain and Jollof. Since
it was Star Wars Day, I decided to make something” Haneefah said, “It
was really worth it as he prayed for me (on twitter) about my kitchen
overflowing with Jollof and reposted it on his instagram as well! I’d
love to frame it for him though.”
