My Flower
Phelix Owiny
Artist’s Statement: My name is Phelix Owiny from Nairobi, Kenya. I am an art lover and I express myself and tell my story through art. As a person living with the rare condition called vitiligo, I go through a lot of challenges in life, one of them being accepted in the community. That’s why I create these beautiful art pieces to tell my story and educate people to embrace diversity and inclusion and that all skin is beautiful. Vitiligo is my flower, so I cherish and value it. It’s my super power.
