"Forever Young" by Taiwo Odejinmi is a poignant artwork that encapsulates the timeless spirit of youth and vitality. The central focus of the piece is a young lady with her hands stretched upward, capturing a moment of exuberance and a celebration of the boundless energy that defines youth.
The artist skillfully depicts the sense of freedom and optimism in the outstretched arms, creating a visual metaphor for reaching toward endless possibilities. The composition is likely to evoke a sense of nostalgia and a universal longing to hold onto the fleeting essence of youth. Odejinmi's attention to detail and the expressive portrayal of the subject's posture convey a sense of joy and a refusal to be constrained by the passage of time.
The title, "Forever Young," further reinforces the theme of eternal youthfulness, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty and vitality found in moments of spontaneity and unrestrained expression. Whether as a symbol of the artist's personal reflection on youth or as an ode to the universal desire for perpetual vitality, "Forever Young" captures a sense of timelessness and the enduring spirit of youth in a single, compelling image.
About Artist
Odejinmi Taiwo James is a figurative artist based in Ogbomoso, Oyo state Nigeria. He was born in 1998, in Ogbomoso, Oyo state Nigeria. Art has always been part of Odejinmi's as he sees art as his voice and draws inspiration from the life experiences of the people around him and the way of life of Africans.
Taiwo Odejinmi has a strong desire to become an Artist. Intrigued by the mysteries of the human figure as a unique work of nature, he uses it to create works that speak to the subject he feels is not receiving enough attention and care or is not spoken about in Nigeria. He works on many artistic mediums but has a preference for mixed media on Canvas because of their versatility and texture.
He is inspired and motivated to not leave his art pieces all alone but to draw scribes of patterns on each piece of Art he makes that which is peculiar to Him. He devotes his time in the studio to the study of his artistic technique and the search for continuous improvement of his expressive capabilities and styles. Taiwo's art speaks about love, black power, hope, joy, pain, sociopolitical issues, and the way we are as Africans.

- Fresco. 2001, canvas, mixed media, 46x38 cmLocated in Riga, LVFresco. 2001, canvas, mixed media, 46x38 cm Ieva Iltnere (b. 1957) entered the Latvian art scene in the early 1980s. Together with other young painters of her generation she attracted much attention and radically changed prevailing conceptions about the Latvian figural painting. The fame of this generation of artists has not diminished since that time. In 1988 Ieva Iltnere took part in the young artists’ exhibition “Post-Traditionalism” at the Central Artists’ House in Moscow as well as in the exhibition “Riga – Lettische Avantgarde” at the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Berlin. It was the first important show of Latvian avant-garde art in Western Europe. In 1990 Ieva Iltnere and her like-minded contemporaries participated in the famous exhibition-action “Gentle Fluctuations” at the Exhibition Hall Latvija in Riga. This exhibition encouraged radical aspirations of the young painters’ group and promoted the adoption of new influences in Latvian art. In 1992 there was Ieva Iltnere and Jānis Mitrēvics’ joint exhibition “Works” and in 1994 – her solo exhibition “School” at the Art Museum Arsenāls. She took part in important Latvian art exhibitions at the Zvolle City Museum (2002), Frauen Museum in Bonn (1992), Grand Salle de l’Aubette in Strasbourg, Maison du Danemark in Paris (1997), Städtische Galerie im Buntentor in Bremen, etc. Ieva Iltnere is one of the most outstanding and creative artists of her generation. Her art is able to communicate great, significant ideas, important to both the individual and the society in general, through intimate subject matter. Iltnere has created a particular imagery that clearly marks her individual style. Her early works deal with themes of family, mother and child, depiction of intimate aspects of life. The artist raised everyday phenomena to the level of sacredness. Today the artist synthesizes traditional means of painting and conceptual approach, inspired by different cultures, Western avant-garde art of the 20th century and Biblical themes (solo exhibition “Stories”, 2002). Iltnere’s paintings feature subdued colouring and discrete intonation. The artist pays particular attention to light and composition. Each work is endowed with a personal touch. Iltnere’s works are found in collections of the Latvian National Museum of Art (previous title - State Museum of Art), the Artists’ Union of Latvia Museum (Riga), the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), Ludwig Museum (Aachen, Germany), Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum (New Jersey, USA) as well as in private collections in Latvia and abroad.
