About the Item

Valley of No Shadows is an original painting by Fredrick Idele. Fredrick created Valley of No Shadows with Acrylic, Pastel, and Charcoal on a 24W by 24H inches Card. "Valley of No Shadows" is a captivating artwork that portrays a peaceful state of mind where fears and worries are conquered, and inner peace is found. The artwork features a character adorned with African symbols and depicted through simple stick figure illustrations that convey a sense of purity and simplicity. The symbols used in the artwork represent spirituality, community, and nature, which share a message of unity and harmony with the natural world. The character's calm and serene facial expression reflects a place of refuge within the subconscious mind where one can find solace and peace. The artwork's title, "Valley of No Shadows," suggests a place of complete stillness, where darkness and fear are banished, and the artwork reminds us that inner peace can be found amidst the world's chaos. Overall, "Valley of No Shadows" is a beautiful depiction of finding inner peace and tranquility through simplicity and connectedness with the natural world.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Fredrick Idele Osarodion is a painter and art instructor who lives and works in Benin, Nigeria. He is a mixed-media artist who sees his immediate environment as a large canvas that offers limitless opportunities to explore. This is evident in his exploration of diverse materials like pastel, charcoal, pencils, markers, and acrylic as well as his conceptual approach to figurative renditions. Fredrick is a graduate of the University of Benin, Nigeria. ARTIST STATEMENT: I am usually challenged by empty canvases. And, I respond to this challenge by spontaneously experimenting with diverse materials to produce distorted figurative expressions. Lines, symbols, and shapes are critical elements in my style as they give me the liberty to express myself with less restriction, upon the body of my figurative expressions are symbolic characters that share the narratives of each work. My art speaks of hope, confidence, and courage through diverse situations. I am inspired by the perception of myself as well as the day-to-day happenings around me. As the subject of my artistry, I relate my personal experiences with that of others and use my art as a voice to communicate these stories and experiences that cannot be spoken of verbally.
