About the Item
This artwork confronts a timeless struggle: humanity’s unease with the mysteries of divine timing. The central figure, blindfolded and clutching an hourglass, has its sands visibly slipping through time, symbolizing Spiritual blindness or lack of clarity about life's timing. Though the man possesses time, he cannot see it; he feels time moving, yet has no perception of when. Why or how much remains? His hand outstretched in onfusion and inquiry. Behind him, another figure whispers, representing inner doubt, societal pressure, or misguidance masquerading as wisdom.
The setting, a dense, vibrant forest, implies that nature unfolds at its own divine pace. Yet the man's obscured vision and anxious expression reveal a disconnect from that natural rhythm. This visual tension explores how ignorance or rejection of divine timing breeds fear, control, and spiritual blindness.
It suggests that what truly troubles humanity is not waiting itself, but the inability to surrender to a timing greater than our own

About Artist
Olaosun draws her inspiration from her life experiences and everything that touches her feelings. She is particularly interested in conveying messages on gender inequality problems, social issues, and African history, among other issues connected to black people. Through her art, Olaosun aims to create a connection with her viewers, making them feel the intensity of the story she tells.
The process of researching and working with different materials has brought Olaosun new challenges and new ideals, which encourage her to continue creating multiple layers in her artwork. Her dedication to self-teaching has allowed her to develop her skills in pencil and painting and has given her the confidence to express herself through her art.
Olaosun Oluwapelumi was born and raised in Osun State, Nigeria, and currently resides in Ibadan. She holds a BSc in Geography and Planning Science from Adekunle Ajasin University. Her passion for art has been a lifelong pursuit, and she continues to hone her craft with every piece she creates. Olaosun believes that black is not just a colour but our existence, and she uses black skin in her work to convey this message.
Olaosun Oluwapelumi is a passionate artist dedicated to creating positive change in the world through her art. Her medium of choice is acrylic and oil on canvas, and she spends days working on each piece to ensure that it expresses her emotions and connects with her viewers.
Recently, she used Green and Black in her works, which symbolize peace and tranquility, as well as hope, harmony, and optimism. Black is a colour of many sentiments. It could be associated with grief, mourning, the occult, mystery, bleakness, heaviness, depression, rebellion, or fear. However, it is also significantly associated with the strength and resilience of the African people.
She loves to create through the pain of people around her, to give them hope and let them know that they are not alone.
Olaosun's works have been exhibited locally and internationally in galleries and art fairs. She continues to create art that sparks emotions and creates positive change, and her works are a testament to her dedication to her craft and her desire to make a difference in the world.
