"Something about old age has always interested me.

When I painted The Jade Woman, I imagined an antithesis to The Red Man, since they're opposites on the colour wheel, after all. She, to me, embodied a quiet grace I had always observed in the elderly, and it was inspiring.

Smoking her pipe, I imagined her looking up, to infinity."

-Anthony Azekwoh The Jade Woman, Digital Media, (2020)
