The objective of this study is to analyze the creative process of the Afro-British artist Yinka Shonibare MBE, who incorporates Wax fabric, a powerful symbol of African identity, into his creations in order to express his cultural belonging while questioning contemporary society and global political dynamics. The research aims to understand how, despite his disability, the artist develops a distinctive visual intelligence that affirms his identity presence through a hybrid and socially engaged aesthetic. The methodology adopted is based on the analysis of the visual dialogue established in his works, which manifests through the use of icons, symbols, texts, and carefully composed pictorial arrangements. The results reveal that the costumes designed by the artist become carriers of multiple meanings, combining historical references, social critique, and conceptual reflection. By synthesizing these findings, it appears that Yinka Shonibare’s artistic practice intertwines aesthetic exploration and critical thought, making the costume a space of mediation between memory, identity, and power.
