Fine Arts and NFTs in Celebration of Nollywood Diva Rita Dominic Anosike
Celebrated Nollywood Diva, Mrs. Rita Dominic Anosike is an international star and winner of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for the Best Actress in a Leading Role in 2012.
Of all her Public photographs, this one is my favourite which I have decided to convert from ordinary photography to fine arts photography; a very big part of the film industry that is worth millions of dollars in Hollywood, but totally ignored in Nollywood.
Pop Art or Pop Photography of celebrity culture was the signature of Andy Warhol, the famous American artist and filmmaker whose monumental artwork, "Marilyn Diptych" created in 1962 is a silkscreen painting depicting legendary Hollywood sex symbol of the silver screen, Marilyn Monroe showing 50 of the same photograph with 25 in yellow colour and 25 in black and white colour which many people came up with different assumptions in their interpretation of the artwork. Each image of the actress is taken from the single publicity photograph of Marilyn from the film "Niagara" (1953).
Rita Dominic is not only one of e beauty queens of Nollywood, but one of the best actors in Nigeria and Africa. In celebration of her fame and accomplishments, I have made unique versions of her single photograph in fine arts photography and made the NFTs on the Algorand blockchain.

The NFT will be in the decentralized InterPlanetary File System.

Rita Dominic: The Best Actress of the Year in 2021 in Nollywood
Rita Dominic as Anjola in "La Femme Anjola" by Mildred Okwo.
"La Femme Anjola" revolves around a stockbroker who fell in love with a mysterious woman. Anjola is married to a gangster who owns a nightclub where she does live performances.
Rita Dominic is one of the best actors not only in NIgeria, but the rest of Africa and the world. She is one of the few actors I know who can turn a bad screenplay into a masterpiece.
The cinematic experience of "La Femme Anjola" will be more romantic when dubbed in the French language and Spanish language. Mildred Okwo should have the theatrical release of the French language copy in French speaking countries and the Spanish language copy in Spanish speaking countries.
The subtleties in the storytelling and intricate cinematography made this unique romantic drama the most accomplished of all the movies produced by NIgerian filmmakers in 2021. The intellectual abilities of the director were shown in the artistry, imagery and poetry of "La Femme Anjola". It is going to become one of the classics of African cinema.
