“I remember the day I posed for this picture that would become a painting that would grace the streets of LA. My visa to Germany had been rejected.
“When I had pushed to understand why, I had received an apologetic explanation from a kind officer on how they couldn’t understand why a Nigerian woman as myself wanted to learn German.

Njideka, 35, recently sold a previous painting titled “Bush Babies’’ for $3.4 million, equivalent to N1.2billion.
