About the Item
The artwork "What My Eyes Have Seen" is a poignant and captivating piece that features a young man at its center. This artwork is a beautiful representation of the human experience, capturing the raw emotions and struggles that come with growing up and experiencing life.
At first glance, the artwork may appear to be a simple painting of a young man, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there is much more to it than that. The young man in the artwork appears to be deep in thought, with a look of contemplation and sadness on his face. His eyes are downcast, as if he is lost in his own thoughts, and his body language suggests a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty.
The use of color in the artwork is also notable, with muted and subdued tones that reflect the mood and emotions of the young man. The background is a soft and muted navy blue, which adds to the overall feeling of sadness and contemplation. The young man's clothing is also subdued, with white and little flower design tones that suggest a connection to nature and the natural world.
One of the most striking features of "What My Eyes Have Seen" is the way in which it captures the universal experience of growing up and grappling with the challenges and complexities of life. The young man in the artwork appears to be struggling with his emotions and the weight of the world on his shoulders. He may be experiencing feelings of sadness, confusion, or uncertainty about his future.
Despite the heavy emotions conveyed in the artwork, there is also a sense of hope and resilience that shines through. The young man's posture suggests a sense of strength and determination, even in the face of adversity. His gaze may be downcast, but there is a sense that he is gathering his thoughts and preparing to face whatever challenges come his way.
In conclusion, "What My Eyes Have Seen" is a powerful and evocative artwork that captures the complexities of the human experience. Through its use of color, composition, and body language, it portrays a young man struggling with his emotions and the challenges of growing up. Despite the sadness and uncertainty conveyed in the artwork, there is also a sense of hope and resilience that speaks to the human spirit and our ability to persevere through even the toughest times.

About Artist
Emmanuel Ojebola was born in southwest Nigeria Eruwa Oyo state in the late 90s. He had his secondary education in the Baptist model High school Sango Eruwa where he developed his interest in the art using the course of his junior secondary school education.
His interest in art came from learning from his then-creative art teacher (Mr. Segun Adesope) before proceeding to improve his art skills at the Ibarapa Polytechnic Eruwa. He loves to work with mixed media but majorly with coffee and acrylic and oil. His passion for African black women and children with the childhood care he got from his mother during his childhood days is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
He believes women are Virgo and sees them as gods here on Earth. He sees himself as a creator who uses his coffee to create human figures with depth and meaningful art pieces.
Emmanuel Ojebola now practices as a full-time studio artist with a well-known and talented artist Oluwole Omofemi. And he sees the likes of Cesar Santos, Eddie Filer, and Oluwole Omofemi as inspirational figures. He sees his art as a part of him and a way for him to express the way he sees the world and its beauty of it.
