About the Item
In "Euphoria," an evocative artwork by the skilled artist Kehinde Mayowa, a woman graces the canvas with a radiant smile that transcends the ordinary bounds of happiness. The piece is a visual celebration of joy, and Mayowa's adept use of color and form transforms the canvas into a realm of vibrant emotions.
The artist's keen understanding of the human spirit is evident in the expressive countenance of the woman. Her smile, brimming with warmth and vitality, becomes a testament to the pursuit of something beyond mere contentment. The title, "Euphoria," amplifies this sentiment, echoing the artist's desire for an elevated, almost transcendent state of bliss.
Mayowa's bold statement accompanying the artwork - "That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!" - adds a layer of intentionality to the piece. It challenges the viewer to consider the distinction between fleeting happiness and the profound, almost otherworldly joy encapsulated in the concept of euphoria.
The composition is a symphony of vibrant hues and dynamic brushstrokes, reflecting the artist's commitment to capturing the essence of heightened emotion. The woman becomes a symbol of the artist's aspiration for a life imbued with exuberance, inviting viewers to share in the pursuit of a joy that goes beyond the ordinary.
"Euphoria" serves as a visual manifesto, a call to embrace life with unbridled enthusiasm and to seek moments that elevate the spirit. Kehinde Mayowa's artwork becomes a mirror reflecting the viewer's desires for a life filled not just with happiness, but with the intoxicating and transformative power of euphoria.

- Desires 1Located in Ibadan, OyoThe painting titled "Desires 1" is a beautiful work of art that depicts two women sitting across from each other, engaged in what seems to be a deep and meaningful conversation. The painting, created by Esinulo Chiamaka Praise, features an older woman and a younger woman, each holding a white flower, which adds a sense of purity and serenity to the scene. The older woman, who appears to be in his 50s, and the younger woman, who looks to be in his 20s, are both dressed in a more simple dress. Both women are seated on chairs, with their faces turned towards each other in a relaxed yet focused manner. The title of the painting, "Desires 1," adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene, as it hints at the possibility of underlying desires and motivations between the two women. However, the painting does not provide any clear answers or indications of what those desires might be, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. Wisdom is gathered from lessons learned from experiences. Time and age guide a man through life as regards choices or wants... One possible interpretation of the painting is that it represents the passing of knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next. The older woman appears to be sharing something with the younger woman, who listens intently and respectfully. The white flowers that both women are holding could be seen as symbols of purity and innocence, representing the purity of the knowledge and wisdom being shared. What you want today may not be what you would want tomorrow, wants change with time. Experiences and age have an influence on choices. Responsibilities are given with time. What is your desire now? Another interpretation of the painting is that it represents a deep and meaningful conversation between two people who share a close and intimate relationship. The fact that both women are holding white flowers suggests a sense of purity and love between them, while their relaxed and focused expressions indicate a sense of comfort and ease in each other's presence. In terms of technique, the painting is expertly executed, with rich colors and intricate details that bring the scene to life. Keating's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, while the placement of the two men in the center of the painting draws the viewer's attention to their faces and the emotions that are portrayed in them. Overall, "Desires 3" is a beautiful and thought-provoking painting that captures the essence of a deep and meaningful conversation between two people. It is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection, leaving the viewer with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the motivations and desires of the two women in the painting.
