- Desires 3Located in Ibadan, OyoThe painting titled "Desires 3" is a beautiful work of art that depicts two men sitting across from each other, engaged in what seems to be a deep and meaningful conversation. The painting, created by Esinulo Chiamaka Praise, features an older man and a younger man, each holding a white flower, which adds a sense of purity and serenity to the scene. The older man, who appears to be in his 50s, and the younger man, who looks to be in his 20s, are both dressed in a more casual shirt and pants. Both men are seated on chairs, with their faces turned towards each other in a relaxed yet focused manner. The title of the painting, "Desires 3," adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene, as it hints at the possibility of underlying desires and motivations between the two men. However, the painting does not provide any clear answers or indications of what those desires might be, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. Wisdom is gathered from lessons learned from experiences. Time and age guide a man through life as regards choices or wants... One possible interpretation of the painting is that it represents the passing of knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next. The older man appears to be sharing something with the younger man, who listens intently and respectfully. The white flowers that both men are holding could be seen as symbols of purity and innocence, representing the purity of the knowledge and wisdom being shared. Another interpretation of the painting is that it represents a deep and meaningful conversation between two people who share a close and intimate relationship. The fact that both men are holding white flowers suggests a sense of purity and love between them, while their relaxed and focused expressions indicate a sense of comfort and ease in each other's presence. In terms of technique, the painting is expertly executed, with rich colors and intricate details that bring the scene to life. Keating's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, while the placement of the two men in the center of the painting draws the viewer's attention to their faces and the emotions that are portrayed in them. Overall, "Desires 3" is a beautiful and thought-provoking painting that captures the essence of a deep and meaningful conversation between two people. It is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection, leaving the viewer with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the motivations and desires of the two men in the painting.

- School BoyLocated in Ibadan, Oyo"School Boy" invites viewers to step into the vibrant realm of a young child's imagination. The artwork skillfully portrays the boy's innocence and his sense of wonder as he embarks on the journey of education. The choice of a school bag as a symbol not only signifies his pursuit of knowledge but also represents the responsibilities and expectations placed upon him. The young boy is depicted sitting on a chair, which becomes his temporary throne, a metaphorical representation of the world he occupies. His posture exudes a sense of confidence, suggesting that he is ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead. The colorful background serves as a reflection of the boy's optimistic outlook, emphasizing his excitement for the adventures awaiting him within the classroom. While "School Boy" is visually striking, it also invites viewers to delve deeper into its underlying symbolism. The artwork subtly hints at the transformative power of education and its potential to shape young minds. The choice of a chair as the boy's seat symbolizes the notion of learning, growth, and progress. The vibrant colors surrounding him further represent the diverse opportunities and experiences that education offers. Furthermore, the absence of other figures in the artwork draws attention to the solitary nature of the boy's journey. It highlights the individualistic nature of education, emphasizing the personal responsibility each child carries to harness their potential. Merenini Williams...Category
