Gbelekale Azeez
Yet, I Shine Brighter

2022

About the Item

Gbelekale Azeez's "Yet, I Shine Brighter" is a powerful artwork featuring a woman who radiates strength, resilience, and beauty. The piece is a celebration of the spirit of women who have overcome adversity and emerged even stronger than before. At first glance, the woman in the artwork appears to be bathed in light, with rays of sunshine streaming through the background. Her face is turned upward, and her eyes are closed, suggesting a sense of peace and serenity. Her hair, which seems to be blowing in the wind, adds to the feeling of movement and energy in the piece. One of the most striking features of the piece is the way that the woman is portrayed. She is not depicted as a fragile, delicate flower, but rather as a force of nature, strong and resilient in the face of adversity. The title of the piece, "Yet, I Shine Brighter," suggests that the woman has faced challenges and setbacks, but has emerged from them even stronger and more determined. The use of light in the artwork is also noteworthy. The rays of sunshine streaming through the background suggest a sense of hope and possibility, while the shadows around the woman suggest that she has overcome darkness and hardship. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of depth and complexity in the piece, adding to its power and impact. Overall, "Yet, I Shine Brighter" is a beautiful and inspiring work of art that celebrates the resilience and strength of women. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can emerge stronger and more beautiful than ever before. Gbelekale Azeez has created a masterpiece that will inspire and uplift anyone who sees it.

Tarrasso square. House in the countryside. Original acrylic painting
Located in CORAL GABLES - MIAMI, FL
Les Guilleries. Original acrylic canvas painting Casimiro Martínez Tarrassó, a painter known simply as Tarrassó. He was trained at the La Llotja School in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he got to know first-hand the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian art scene at the time. This Fauve influence will continue to be palpable in his work throughout his life in features such as the strong chromatic contrast, the elevated and somewhat exaggerated perspective, the absolute disinterest in the human figure, which appears only sketched as a complement to the landscape, and the representation of trees as electrified, subjected to tortuous inclinations. It is these formal features that give his works their own vitality and reduce their connection with the referential to a mere pretext. Tarrassó followed in the wake of the great Catalan landscape painters, paying particular attention to Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact that Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated still life and Catalan and Majorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928 in Barcelona. Since then his shows have followed in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao. In 1935 he visited Mallorca for the first time, and from 1940 on he will have a studio there, specifically in Palma, where he lived for long periods and developed most of his artistic production. After the Civil War, during the 1940s, Tarrassó took part in several National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in their editions of 1942, 1943 and 1950. Although the landscape was always the center of his production, Tarrassó also made works such as the mural decoration of the church of Santa María de Badalona. In Mallorca he also carried out a unique undertaking, planting his trestle in the Campanet caves to capture the stalactites and stalagmites from their stone cavities, developing a series of works that he presented in 1948. Throughout his career, Tarrassó was awarded the Pollença Prize of the I International Painting Contest, in 1962; the Santiago Rusiñol...
