This striking drawing depicts a market woman taking a moment to rest by the roadside as she waits for the bus to carry her belongings to the market. The woman is seated, wearing a large straw hat to shield her from the sun, and surrounded by her belongings. She has become so comfortable waiting that she has drifted off to sleep. In the distance, a car can be seen approaching, with a stop sign indicating that it will stop for the waiting passengers. Other market women can also be seen waiting patiently, perhaps lost in their own thoughts or engaging in conversation with one another. The image is highly detailed, with a myriad of lines, scribbled letters, numbers, and mathematical symbols that add depth and complexity to the artwork. The colours are muted, creating a sense of calm and serenity that fits perfectly with the theme of rest and waiting. "Roadside Rest" is a powerful commentary on the everyday lives of working women, who often have to balance their duties with the need for rest. The woman in the drawing is both vulnerable and strong, showcasing the resilience and determination required to succeed in challenging circumstances. This drawing is a moving tribute to those who work tirelessly to support themselves and their families and an invitation to all of us to take a moment to pause, reflect, and rejuvenate.

Dio. is an artist with a deep and passionate appreciation for beauty in the natural world and within the human spirit. This enthusiastic and sensitive joy is reflected strongly in his artwork. Dio was born on the 20th of November 1985. Currently teaching art in one of the renown senior high school here in Accra Ghana. His work is executed in a vibrant, expressionistic style, which-while still retaining its representational roots, incorporates abstract elements, resulting in a uniquely contemporary union. Dio’s choice of medium is unlimited. He creates works of art with anything he lays his hands on. Currently Dio works with acrylic, ink pens and recycles papers(magazines) into collage art. In painting, his style is unique because of the representation of fluid or bubble effects which takes great time and great effort to do. In ink drawing or painting, popularly known as mathematical drawing or painting Dio creates his subjects with mathematical symbols, equations, lines or combination of these. These he does by the uses of assorted ink pens of different colours and black. In collage, which is one of his specialty Dio recycles magazines into glorious works of art . This he does by adhering hundreds of chopped pieces of magazines or coloured papers onto hard supports or surfaces. Dio’s inspiration is first derived from this world to which he bears witness. Whether it be an intimate moment captured between mother and child, a glimpse into the solitary reverie of cultures, or a private view into that sacred world of the timeless nude . Dio’s choice of subject matter, his masterful ability for extemporaneous composition, and his brilliant talent for the juxtaposition of light and shadow, all evoke a powerful old world feel, yet with an irresistible modern edge.
