About the Item

Mayowa Esan's painting titled "Glow" depicts a lady with eyeglasses. The painting is a remarkable piece of art that captures the beauty and elegance of the subject. The artist's use of color, texture, and composition is truly impressive and creates a unique visual experience for the viewer. One of the most striking features of "Glow" is the use of light and shadow. The painting is bathed in a warm, golden light that seems to emanate from the subject herself. This creates a sense of warmth and intimacy that draws the viewer in and invites them to explore the painting further. The shadow cast by the glasses also adds a sense of depth and dimension to the painting, further enhancing the overall effect. Another noteworthy aspect of the painting is the subject's expression. The lady with eyeglasses is depicted with a serene and contemplative expression as if lost in thought. This adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the painting, as the viewer is left to wonder what the subject might be thinking or feeling. The use of texture in "Glow" is also worth noting. The artist has created a rich, layered surface that invites the viewer to touch and explore the painting. The brushstrokes are visible and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. This adds to the overall visual experience of the painting and makes it feel alive and dynamic. Overall, Mayowa Esan's "Glow" is a truly stunning work of art. The artist's skillful use of color, texture, and composition creates a painting that is both beautiful and intriguing. The lady with eyeglasses is a captivating subject, and the warm, golden light that surrounds her adds a sense of intimacy and warmth to the painting. If you have the opportunity to view this painting in person, I highly recommend it - it is a truly unforgettable work of art.

About Artist Mayowa Esan was born in the Late 80s in Ibadan, Oyo state Nigeria. His work can best be described as captivating, depicting black women with dark skin color according to the nature of his birth, being a Nigerian. The African culture does not really give importance to the uniqueness and importance of black women in society. Hence, a lot of women are faced with different kinds of abuse ranging from marital to societal. This brought about the agitation for freedom for the black women in his paintings. He believes they needed to be advocated for and the representation of his rich, vibrant colors is detailed in the expression of their dark skin. And also with their enlarged eyes depicting their various experiences in life. Mayowa Esan was inspired by the family he was raised in, being polygamous, Raised predominantly in the company of many mothers, that has been through a series of pain and abuse shaping his decision to fight against abuse in his works. For Mayowa, true freedom and emancipation for women, especially the black community.
