About the Item

In "Deserving More," the central figure, a man, sits solemnly on a chair, his gaze piercing through the canvas to meet the audience's eyes. A subtle sadness etches his features, reflecting the inner turmoil depicted in his eyes. With one hand, he clutches a book titled "I Deserve More," its cover adorned with an abstract figure, embodying the complex emotions and thoughts swirling within his mind. The painting captures the essence of the written narrative, portraying the struggles of the human experience. The man's poignant expression speaks of a life filled with ups and downs, where societal pressures and self-doubt weigh heavily on his shoulders. Despite his yearning for better circumstances, he finds himself grappling with the harsh realities of existence. Through the symbolism of the book and the man's contemplative demeanor, the painting encapsulates the universal longing for fulfillment and recognition of one's worth. It invites viewers to empathize with the man's journey, acknowledging the inherent desire for a life that aligns with his aspirations and dreams. "Deserving More" serves as a visual testament to the resilience of the human spirit, urging viewers to reflect on their own struggles and aspirations. It prompts contemplation on the pursuit of happiness and the inherent right to seek fulfillment in a world fraught with challenges. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria.
