Esosa
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Esosa, which means "gift of God," is not only a name but a powerful reminder of the potential within every girl. As she lays down with a book she epitomizes the essence of her name - a vessel of knowledge, waiting to be filled with wisdom and understanding. This simple yet profound act symbolizes her commitment to continuous learning and her unwavering belief in the power of education. In many parts of the world, girls have historically been denied access to education, limiting their opportunities and potential. But Esosa's unwavering dedication is changing that narrative, one page at a time. She firmly believes that empowering girls through education not only benefits them but also enriches their families, communities, and societies at large. Esosa's journey towards championing girl child education began with her own experiences and challenges. Growing up in a society where traditional gender roles often hindered girls' access to education, she encountered numerous obstacles. However, with the support of her family, particularly her parents, who recognized the importance of education for all, Esosa pursued her dreams relentlessly. Through her educational journey, Esosa witnessed the transformative power of knowledge. Education broadened her perspective, nurtured critical thinking, and instilled in her a sense of purpose. She became acutely aware of the vast potential locked within every girl and the boundless possibilities that education can unlock. With an unyielding determination, Esosa embarked on a mission to inspire and empower girls around her. She started organizing educational workshops and mentorship programs, encouraging girls to pursue their dreams fearlessly. Through her efforts, she advocated for equal educational opportunities, fighting against the prevailing gender biases and societal norms. Esosa's impact extended beyond her immediate surroundings. She utilized technology and social media to reach out to a broader audience, spreading her message of girl child education far and wide. Her story, her beliefs, and her passion resonated with many, attracting like-minded individuals and organizations that joined hands to support her cause. As she continues to lay down with her book, Esosa sets an example for girls everywhere - an example of resilience, empowerment, and the courage to defy limitations. She emphasizes that knowledge is not a privilege but a right that should be accessible to all, irrespective of gender or social background. In her vision for a better world, every girl receives quality education, unlocking their potential to become change-makers, leaders, and contributors to society. Esosa envisions a world where girls are empowered to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and rewrite the narrative for future generations. To all those who come across her story, Esosa's message is clear: investing in girl child education is an investment in a brighter and more equitable future. It is a journey that transforms lives, breaks cycles of poverty, and builds thriving communities. So, let us all join hands with Esosa and countless other advocates for girl child education. Together, we can create a world where every girl receives the gift of education, embraces her potential, and fulfills her dreams. Let us believe wholeheartedly in the power of education and seek knowledge to shape a better tomorrow - a tomorrow where every girl is an Esosa, a true gift of God.

Vibrant Blue Portrait With Floral Motifs on Yellow Canvas, Original Arwork, 2024
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This acrylic painting, part of Natasha Lelenco’s You Are the One series, features a vivid and surreal portrait of a central woman figure with a bright blue face, framed by sleek black hair, set against a luminous yellow background. The subject’s green lips add a bold contrast, drawing attention to the artwork’s vibrant color palette. Surrounding the figure, playful blue flowers and abstract shapes evoke an expressive, almost whimsical narrative, blending surrealist and naïve art styles. The canvas is characterized by its flat, saturated colors and dynamic floral patterns, which add depth and movement to the composition. This unique piece integrates elements of both figurative and decorative art, offering a lively exploration of identity and expression. The fluorescent quality of the colors creates a striking effect, although slight variations may appear in digital reproductions compared to the original work. Technical Details: Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 55x55cm Year: 2024 Style: Surrealist, naïve, contemporary About the Series: You Are the One is Natasha Lelenco’s latest exploration of individuality and collective identity through vivid, surreal portraits.

Please expect framing time between 3-5 weeks. From the estate of Ruth Friedmann Opper & Jerry Opper. Ruth was the daughter of Bauhaus artist, Gustav Friedmann. San Francisco Abstract Expression A free-spirited wave of creative energy swept through the San Francisco art community after World War II. Challenging accepted modes of painting, Abstract Expressionists produced highly experimental works that jolted the public out of its postwar complacency. Abstract Expressionism resulted from a broad collective impulse rather than the inspiration of a small band of New York artists. Documenting the interchanges between the East and West Coasts, she cites areas of mutual influence and shows the impact of San Francisco on the New York School, including artists such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt. San Francisco's Beat poets...
