About the Item
African Boy is a series of paintings by talented artist Faith Gbadero. This series of Artworks captures the response and attitudes of African young adults to the struggles and roller coaster of feelings they pass through. Growing into adulthood has its demands and responsibilities; societal expectations, rejections, peer pressure, failure, success, moving out of your comfort zone, relationships, heartbreak, and others.
Amidst striving to live the good life desired, we embrace the ups and downs as they contribute to our growth on our journey to fulfillment. The rise and fall of man refer to success and failure. We all have moments of triumph and moments of defeat, and these experiences shape who we are and how we approach life.
Success can bring confidence and motivation, while failure can lead to introspection and growth. The key is to learn from both experiences and continue moving forward, regardless of the outcome.
The natural cycles of life illustrate the rise and fall of man. Birth, growth, maturity, and eventually death are part of the universal human experience. While we may not have control over the timing or circumstances of these events, we can choose how we respond to them. We can embrace life's challenges and opportunities, appreciate the good times, and find meaning and purpose in the face of adversity.
As an African Boy, even when we fall, we rise again!

About Artist
Beyond the popular opinion that art is the creation of beauty, Faith Ayooluwa Gbadero, a contemporary visual artist from Oyo State Nigeria, believes that art is a tool for intellectual discourse, social commentary, and also a medium of self-expression and identification. Faith is a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University where he studied Fine Arts with a specialization in painting. His works are reflections of his beliefs, culture, experiences, and social interactions within his environment. He is an inspiring figurative artist whose creative expressions serve as a powerful catalyst for social change. With a deep-rooted passion for advocating social values, Faith harnesses the transformative power of art to challenge existing norms, ignite conversations, and foster empathy within society. He works with a positive mindset and believes in positivity in all spheres of life.
Faith explores socio-cultural themes in his works to preach hope, love, and sanity in society. His works are agents of socialization that exhort morality, and cultural and human values in the environment. He seeks to not only create aesthetic experiences but also to spark meaningful thoughts & conversations with his works in society.

With this piece, I’m projecting a young man in his prime to buttress the fact that Adulthood is a stage of life filled with possibilities and a phase where one can pull all resources at his disposal for better achievement in life.
