From Lagos to 'the limelight': Nigerian artist painted cover of Tina Knowles' new book
Kelani Fatai calls himself one of the "luckiest" artists from Africa after he was commissioned by Tina Knowles to paint the cover of her forthcoming book — a task that he says changed the trajectory of his entire career.
The Nigeria-based painter says he was first commissioned by Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé and Solange, in 2023.

And when she later asked him to paint the cover of her book, Fatai couldn't have been more ecstatic.
"I thought it was a joke, like I (didn't) really believe it. I (didn't) think I was fit for that standard," he tells the USA TODAY Network.
"But she made what I thought was a joke reality, and she really guided me."
Knowles — affectionately dubbed Mama Tina by many fans — announced she is releasing a memoir titled "Matriarch" on April 22.
"I think I'm one of the luckiest artists, maybe from Africa, because I'm proud that I'm the one that made the cover painting.
