About the Item
"Uncle Suuru," is a painting that evokes a sense of contemplation and introspection. The title itself, translating to "the patient uncle," serves as a gateway into the heart of the artwork's message. As viewers lay their eyes upon the composition, they are met with more than just colors and strokes; they are invited into a world of deeper understanding and reflection.
Patience is a virtue often heralded but seldom embraced wholeheartedly. "Uncle Suuru" stands as a tribute to the enduring power of patience, reminding us that whatever life promises to be, it requires the nurturing touch of patience to blossom into its fullest potential. The artwork captures a moment frozen in time, where the figure of Uncle Suuru becomes a symbol of this essential virtue.
The central theme of patience is intertwined with the concept of waiting – waiting for the right time, waiting for things to fall into place, and waiting for the seeds of our efforts to bear fruit. Mayowa Esan's skillful execution paints a vivid picture of a figure embodying the very essence of patience. The details of Uncle Suuru's posture, expression, and surroundings all contribute to the portrayal of a serene and contemplative demeanor – qualities that align harmoniously with the virtue of patience.
"Uncle Suuru" beckons viewers to explore the layers of meaning within its strokes. It invites us to recognize that life, like a canvas, is a gradual work of art that requires patience and nurturing. The painting serves as a reminder that the most beautiful and profound experiences often unfold in their own time, and rushing through them might mean missing out on the richness of the journey.
The connection between the patient's uncle and the waiting game life plays is an evergreen lesson that spans cultures and generations. It underscores the idea that life's greatest rewards are often reserved for those who understand the art of waiting – those who can navigate the challenges with equanimity and allow circumstances to unfold in their due course.
In a world where instant gratification and quick fixes often dominate, "Uncle Suuru" offers a counterbalance. It encourages us to pause, breathe, and appreciate the process as much as the outcome. Just as Mayowa Esan has meticulously composed each stroke to create this masterpiece, so must we approach life with the same attention to detail and patience.
In conclusion, "Uncle Suuru" by Mayowa Esan stands as a timeless piece that resonates across time and cultures. It speaks to the heart of the human experience, reminding us that patience is not only a virtue but also an art – an art that involves embracing the journey, honoring the process, and recognizing that the right time will always arrive. As we gaze upon the serene figure of Uncle Suuru, we are reminded that life's most precious moments are worth the wait.

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.

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.
