About the Item

“On Your Tomb, They Won't Smell Nice” is a cheerful reflection on the importance of self-love and self-acceptance in our fleeting lives. This piece serves as a stark reminder that our worth and value cannot be measured by external validation or material possessions, but rather by the love and compassion we show ourselves. Through a striking visual representation, I aim to challenge the viewer to reevaluate their relationship with themselves, and to prioritize self-love and self-care in their journey. The title 'On Your Tomb They Won't Smell Nice' is a poignant reminder that our final legacy will not be defined by our external accomplishments, but by the love and kindness we showed to ourselves, and the impact that had on those around us." 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 Obeka Simon Edoh is a full-time studio painter based in Abuja, Nigeria. He graduated from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria where he studied Fine Art and majored in painting. He was among the top 25 artists in the ‘’Life in My City Art Festival’’ competition in 2019 in Nigeria and also among the 10 finalists in the ‘’Next Of Kin Annual Juried Art Exhibition And Competition’’ in 2022 organized by Thought Pyramid Art Center, Lagos and also participated in a group exhibition titled ‘’No Pain No Gain’’ organized by Vivid ExclsiveArt Gallery in 2022. My fascination and obsession with the human figure can not be overly emphasized. Sometimes, I find myself spending countless hours looking at the human face. In my paintings, I hope to communicate with my viewer's life experiences and stories attached to every face I paint and each face tells a different and unique story These life experiences and stories are sometimes beautiful, joyful, sad, provoking, and educating.

I'm Alright, Just Here 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide 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) "I'm Alright, Just Here" is a captivating artwork that captures the viewer's attention with its tender depiction of a young girl. The artist skillfully brings the subject to life, with delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. The girl's features are portrayed with remarkable precision, revealing a sense of innocence and vulnerability that tugs at the heartstrings. The expression on the girl's face speaks volumes—a delicate blend of calmness and introspection. Her eyes, a window to her soul, radiate a sense of quiet strength and resilience, hinting at a pearl of wisdom beyond her years. Simon's choice to depict the girl alone, with no external distractions, creates a sense of intimacy and invites viewers to connect with her inner world. "I'm Alright, Just Here" explores the themes of solitude, self-reflection, and the resilience of youth. The title itself offers insight into the subject's state of mind—an assurance that she is content and at peace in her presence. It serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of finding solace within oneself, even amidst the chaos and noise of the world. The young girl's presence in the artwork represents the universal experience of navigating the complexities of life. Her portrayal invites viewers to reflect on their journey, prompting questions about the inner strength we possess and the moments of introspection we all seek. She becomes a mirror, reminding us to find moments of stillness and self-care, where we can gather strength and nurture our well-being. The muted color palette employed by Simon contributes to the contemplative mood of the artwork. Soft, earthy tones evoke a sense of serenity and harmony, further enhancing the atmosphere of quiet introspection. The artist's careful attention to the interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the girl's expression, underscoring the layers of emotion and resilience that lie beneath the surface. Obeka Simon...
