Bello Gabriel
In the Misty Dusk - 21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative, Impressionism, Women

2023

About the Item

"In The Misty Dusk" is an artwork that perfectly encapsulates the idea that life cannot be fully enjoyed if we are weighed down by our past, and future anxieties, or unconscious behaviors. The painting depicts a hazy woman shrouded in mist, with the sun setting in the background, casting a warm glow over the scene. The misty haze represents the uncertainty and confusion that can cloud our minds and prevent us from fully experiencing the present moment. The setting sun reminds us that time is constantly moving forward, and if we are too preoccupied with our regrets or fears of the future, we will miss out on the beauty and opportunities of the present. The artist has used a subdued color palette, with muted blues, green, and orange, to create a somber and introspective mood. The figure in the painting is indistinct, suggesting that she is lost in thought or moving through life on autopilot, without truly engaging with her surroundings. The artwork's message is clear: if we want to live a fulfilling and joyful life, we must learn to let go of our past regrets, anxieties about the future, and habitual patterns of behavior. We must learn to be fully present in each moment, appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and embrace new experiences with curiosity and openness. "In The Misty Dusk" is a reminder that life is fleeting and precious, and we must make the most of it while we can. By cultivating mindfulness, self-awareness, and a willingness to let go of the past and embrace the present, we can live a life that is rich, meaningful, and filled with joy. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist My name is Bello Gabriel, I'm an impressionist and a figurative artist. My art started when I was very little. I love playing with colors and drawing comics. Little did I know then that I was going to be an artist because I was not focused on that area, I just see art as a talent and not a profession. But in a long run after high school, I studied art at one of the prestigious institutions in Lagos, Nigeria. Yaba College of Technology, Yabatech. And now I’m a full-time studio artist. I love painting in blue and orange renditions because blue is a natural color that accords freedom confidence, intuition, and faith. And orange, associated with optimism and energy. So I combined these two colors together to produce meaningful and exceptional works of art. My paintings talk about the daily life of people in society, the struggles, attempts, and efforts towards human survival, and many more. My painting is a consistent search for the best way to interpret the common ideas I have about people in the society we found ourselves in and the world we all live in. My works are not limited to one particular background. Inspiration and ideas change. Each piece I create is simultaneously a stretch from my discovery and observation of my society and the world at large. I do not want my art to speak for me alone, but for people who are being deprived of their rights and value, who were long ago silenced. If an onlooker stops for just a moment to view and ruminate on a piece I have created, then I have done well in my work.
