About the Item
“Abiyamọ” (Mother that Nutures) is a piece of a compilation of diversity that celebrates and honours the diverse roles of mothers as comforters, teachers, and guardians. The inspiration was from personal experience and upbringing; growing up surrounded by nurturing mothers. The artwork portrays a mother as a central figure, symbolizing and embodying comfort, security, guidance, and warmth. The halo light shining on the daughter’s head represents the mother’s influence heritage and legacy. The colour choice reflects warmth and tenderness, while the artist's style alludes to the complexities and challenges mothers face. I invite the audience to reflect on the profound influence of mothers in shaping lives and nurturing families throughout different eras , generations and societies.

Artist Statement
The ideas, issues and events arising from man's quest to contain and contend with these forces form the subject of my paintings. Given this background, my paintings are subtle but much defined with interlocking and wedges of colour combined like a mosaic to produce a solid, architectural structure, enhanced by the textured surface of the paint with women accorded with prominent attention, focus and more emphasis in my composition.
Women live in a male-dominated society, based on local cultural traditions with few rights and are at the receiving end of men's activities and yet strive to eke out and sustain living.
I celebrate them by weaving my composition around them during their hours of need, joy, pain, and other human activities.
