About the Item
On the wings of hope we fly
We may walk on land
But in our dreams, we fly.
Ride or die,
Tomorrow will be fine.
Age or gauge,
Still, we keep hope alive.
We may sell our hopes
Tomorrow we will renew
They may break our bones
Yet, tomorrow we fly again.
Hope deferred makes the soul weak,
Yet indeed we go for it.

About Artist
Ezekiel Osifeso hails from Ogun State. He was born on the 15th of August, 1992 in Lagos. He is a 2013 graduate of The University of Lagos where he studied Visual Arts. To further better himself in his craft, he interned at the Universal Studio of Art under the tutelage of Mr. Abiodun Olaku, Mr. Joshua Nmesirionye, and Mr. Edosa Oguigo from 2016 - 2018.
As a result of his influences, his works portray urban Nigerian life and its attendant socio-political issues. He has participated in several group shows with a solo exhibition to his credit. He currently lives and practices in Ibafo, Ogun State, Nigeria.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Every attempt at an artwork is like holding a tablet of destiny in my hands, with the freedom to make of it what I want, every brush stroke having a message, coming together to make the painting a living entity.
Despite painting using photo references, I do everything possible to capture the unseen elements: the energy, the rough texture of nature, the uncertainty of life, and the subjectivity of the outcome. All these are evident in the heavy brushwork and suggestive strokes in my works.
Though I would not want to be boxed in the 'isms' of the art world, my works are somewhat a blend of Impressionism and Realism; They combine the spontaneity of the Impressionists with the colours of Realism. So we could call it "Impressionistic realism".
My works could, however, take a different turn as I look to place priority on the painting than on the nomenclature.
