About the Item

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) “Sometimes I Talk to My Shadow” 1&2 is a candid confession that reveals the intimate conversations we have with our inner selves. This phrase embodies the universal human experience of self-reflection, creativity, and introspection. It acknowledges the beauty of solitude, the comfort of self-company, and the freedom to explore our thoughts without judgment. This title celebrates the power of inner dialogue, where we confront our fears, nurture our dreams, and find solace in our wisdom. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, which often finds strength in the quiet moments of self-expression. Through "Sometimes I Talk to my Shadow," we embrace the beauty of our inner world, where creativity, healing, and growth await. This phrase is a gentle reminder that our inner voice is our most trusted companion, guiding us toward self-discovery, self-love, and self-acceptance. About Artist Obeka Simon Edoh is a full-time studio painter based in Abuja, Nigeria. He is a graduate of 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.
