.Journey of Illumination Acrylics on canvas 50x70cm 2018
This evocative painting titled "Journey of Illumination" invites viewers into a contemplative exploration of life's pathways and the pursuit of enlightenment. The composition is divided into three distinct sections, each representing a phase in the individual journey toward self-discovery and enlightenment. Upper Section - The Realm of Potential: The upper part, characterized by a pristine white expanse, symbolizes the realm of potential and limitless possibilities. It represents the beginning of one's journey, where the canvas is blank, and individuals stand on the threshold of their personal quests for understanding and meaning. Middle Section - Paths and Choices: The broader middle section unfolds as a labyrinth of intersecting paths, capturing the complexity of life's choices and experiences. Some traverse straight lines toward the radiant light patches, signifying a direct and unwavering pursuit of enlightenment. Others take winding, meandering routes, reflecting the diverse journeys individuals undertake in their pursuit of wisdom. This section embodies the myriad choices and challenges encountered on the path to illumination. Lower Section - The Dichotomy of Light and Darkness: The lower, darker portion introduces contrasting patches of light, embodying moments of enlightenment scattered amid the shadows. Some paths lead directly to these points, symbolizing those who find clarity and understanding swiftly. However, others, despite traveling great distances in the middle section, ultimately return to the darkness, suggesting the cyclical nature of personal journeys and the potential for rediscovery. Narrative Complexity: The juxtaposition of these three sections forms a narrative of complexity and diversity in individual journeys. The painting challenges viewers to reflect on the nature of their own paths, acknowledging that the pursuit of enlightenment is a dynamic and varied experience. It suggests that while some may find swift clarity, others navigate winding routes, and some may even oscillate between moments of light and darkness. Symbolism: The use of color and composition serves as a metaphor for the interplay between choice, experience, and self-discovery. The stark contrast between the white, the diverse pathways, and the interplay of light and darkness encourages viewers to introspect on their own journeys, recognizing the beauty and challenges inherent in the pursuit of personal enlightenment. This painting serves as a visual meditation on the intricate and individualized nature of the human journey, prompting viewers to contemplate their own paths toward illumination and understanding.Leaving unfilled canvas has been deliberate to retain the spirit of sponteneity under which the painting was created.

Jazz, the music of the night,
With a rhythm so smooth and so right.
Born in the heart of New Orleans,
Where the beat of the drums and the horns do dance.
It tells a story, so full of soul,
With each note, a tale, to unfold.
From the soft and sweet, to the fast and loud,
Jazz takes us on a journey, so free and proud.
It's the sound of the city, with its beat so strong,
Bringing together, the young and the old.
With each improvisation, it never gets old,
Jazz will always be, a story untold.
So let us listen, to the rhythm so fine,
And bask in the beauty, of this musical wine.
With a rhythm so smooth and so right.

Amidst the lush and vibrant land,
Where the sun and rain both lend a hand,
Stands a tropical village by the shore,
Where palm trees sway and seagulls soar.
The village is alive with color and sound,
As people dance and music abounds,
Their voices rich with a rhythmic tone,
As they celebrate life with a joy all their own.
The scent of spices fills the air,
As they prepare their meals with care,
Fresh fish and fruit from the sea,
And cassava and plantains from the trees.
Children splash and play in the warm sea,
While elders rest in the shade of a tree,
The women weave baskets and mats,
And the men fish and farm with their hats.
In this tropical African village so alive,
The people's spirit will always thrive,
With their close-knit community and love so true,
The beauty of life is always in view.

Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass.
It is commonly an unwanted by-product of fires (including stoves, candles, oil lamps, and fireplaces), but may also be used for pest control (fumigation), communication (smoke signals), defensive and offensive capabilities in the military (smoke-screen), cooking, or smoking (tobacco, cannabis, etc.).

Breaking a vicious circle, a challenge so grand,
Where the patterns repeat, and the pain takes a stand.
It's a quest for a change, for a life that is new,
And the strength to break free, from the cycle that's true.
It's a step into the unknown, where the future is bright,
And the courage to face it, with a heart full of light.
It's a break from the past, where the shadows are gone,
And the peace that comes after, is a peace that shines on.
It's a battle against fear, and the demons within,
Where the courage to change, is the courage to win.
It's a journey of growth, where the spirit soars high,
And the path to liberation, is the path that we try.
So let us break this cycle, with a spirit so bold,
And the courage to face it, with a heart that is whole.

African women farmers, strong and bold,
Their hands tending fields, with stories untold.
Their sweat and toil, a daily grind,
A labor of love, for all mankind.
In the fields, they plant their seeds,
Hoping for a bountiful yield indeed.
They tend to their crops, with tender care,
And harvest their crops, with pride to share.
Their faces, weathered by the sun,
A sign of work, that's never done.
Their spirits, unbroken by the strain,
For their families, they bear the pain.
African women farmers, a backbone of the land,
Their perseverance, a testament so grand.
Their determination, a beacon of hope,
For a better future, they firmly scope.
In the fields, they sow their dreams,
And reap the fruits, that their labor beams.
African women farmers, so brave and true,
We honor your work, and appreciate you.

In my grandma's African yard,
Nature's beauty, it stands guard.
The trees and flowers, they bloom and grow,
A true paradise, for all to know.
The grass so green, and soft to touch,
A playground for kids, that's not too much.
The sun beats down, hot and bright,
Yet, the shade of trees, a cool respite.
The birds chirp and sing their song,
Their melodies, all day long.
And in the evening, the crickets hum,
A lullaby, before we're done.
In my grandma's African yard,
A place of peace, where life's not hard.
A haven of love, and family ties,
Where memories are made, beneath the skies.

In the name of art, we experiment,
Our brushes and pens, our instruments.
We mix and blend, we splash and pour,
Creating beauty, forevermore.
We try new things, and take a chance,
Our creativity, it takes a dance.
Colors and shapes, we play around,
Our imaginations, they know no bound.
With each stroke, we express our souls,
Our art, a reflection of our goals.
We dare to be different, and break the mold,
In the name of art, we are bold.
Our canvas, a playground of sorts,
A place where we can freely distort.
With our art experiments, we discover anew,
A world of beauty, pure and true.
