Another one of Rosales’s works was The Creation of God, a piece of art that went viral in 2017. This painting is an oil-on-canvas painting and it took two months to craft. In this painting, she recreates Michelangelo’s Creazione di Adamo by displaying both God and Adam as Black women. Some have described The Creation of Adam as having indescribable beauty by showing Jehovah’s finger and the elegant, naked, body of the first man. In contrast, the painting created by Harmonia Rosales shows God as a black woman and creates the illusion of the heavens as a womb that God, a black woman. is birthing Adam out of in order to show strength and empowerment. This piece received much backlash because people found it offensive that God was depicted as a black woman. Critics went as far as to call her work a”disgrace, disgusting and cultural appropriation.” However, Rosales was trying to display that, “We have been taught that God created ‘man’ in his own image.

In this painting, Oshun has vitiligo that is made of gold patches that have roots in traditional Nigerian Storytelling. The painting is meant to challenge the perceptions of beauty because as she says, “traditionally, we see Venus as this beautiful woman with flowing hair. My hair never flowed, so I’m wondering why this is supposed to be a painting of the most beautiful woman in the world.” This painting works to show the beauty in imperfection, such as the patches of Vitiligo, a skin condition. She also says that she created this work with her daughter in mind in order to show her daughter that black women, and their natural hair, are beautiful.
