About the Item

Let love lead. Let's be genuinely happy for each other. No malice, no backbiting. No jealousy. No comparison. Life is not a competition. At the end of the day, we will all transit to the other side. It is just a question of who gets there first, but surely we will all go there someday. 150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 per cent to 100 per cent of everything we are fighting over right now will be forgotten totally. If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1872, and none of those who carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face from that era. Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some killed family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or cowry or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, cowries, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag? It may sound funny to us now, but that is how silly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to money, power or trying to be relevant! Let us take life easy, nobody will get out of this world alive!!! Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. About Artist Tosin Ogunniyi is a multidisciplinary artist from Eruwa, Oyo state, Nigeria. He embarked on his artistic journey by obtaining a National Diploma in Fine Art from The Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, in 2016/2018. His exposure to the realm of art continued with an impactful industrial training at Oluwole Omofemi's painting studio in Ibadan, where he absorbed influences from the master's distinctive artistic style during 2018/2019. Currently pursuing his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, Tosin's artistic endeavours are rooted in providing a unique narrative that illuminates the diverse experiences, challenges, and triumphs of individuals in his society. Raised predominantly by his mother, a single parent who faced the challenges of life after losing her husband, Tosin draws inspiration from the bittersweet essence of life. His art captures the essence of respecting feminine figures in society and the broader black community. Merging charcoal and acrylics (mixed media), he skillfully represents the black and conceptual essence in his work. With themes centred around love, hope, faith, romance, body positivity, and encouragement for kindness, Tosin's art aims to provide a platform for voices that may be underrepresented or marginalized. Through his meticulous observation of individuals, he emphasizes the importance of fairness and equality, challenging beliefs of superiority. Oluwatosin's compelling works have found a space in private collections both at home and abroad.
