Family Treasure is an Onaism styled acrylic on canvas painting that dwells on the importance of family standard and values. Family Treasure was inspired by the love and bond that exist in a good family and home. The painting captures the essence of joy, peace and harmony in the household of this family of five (father, mother, daughter and two sons). Greater love and the beauty of companionship as well as family bonding was unexpectedly encouraged by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic induced lockdown of many States/nations across the globe. The subject matter of the painting is based on family treasure and pleasure such as love, joy, happiness, harmony, unity, togetherness and peaceful bonding that are some of the major treasure towards building a better world. A world with a good family treasure and structure will lead to a better society and State devoid of hazards from pandemics such as COVID-19. The father figure was dressed in a well embroidered Yoruba agbada top with a matching cap and under garment. The mother wore a magenta tight fitting gown of the same style and colour like that of their grown-up daughter, but the mother completed her dressing with a head-tie, gele in Yoruba language. The two boys are dressed in similar lemon yellow apparels with embroidered motifs. A motif of a shining Sun that symbolized an unending world of mankind and nature was depicted near the man’s head. The painting is an abstract work with Onaism stylistic finishing. Colours were employed in the work for both symbolic as well as aesthetics’ enhancement from a Yoruba/African perspective.

Nigeria
I was born in 1966 at Surulere, Lagos. My parents are from Oyo State, Nigeria. Right from Primary school, I knew that I was destined to be an artist because I cannot stop drawing and coping pictures from dailies and magazines. From my second year in Secondary school, I was also training as an artist in the studio of late David Essiet. Thus, I was a 1981 to 1985 trained Artists before moving on to the university. From 1980 to 1984, I was the Best Fine Arts student throughout my Secondary school years at Igbobi High School, Yaba, Lagos. I was also honoured with a Distinguished Stewardship Award by the Society of Nigerian Artists, Lagos State Chapter in 2015. I have being practicing as an artist since 1985 before going for further studies as well as being involved in other art related engagements till date. As an art critic and historian, I have contributed essays to some books, journals and exhibition catalogues. I have also written articles on art published in Nigerian newspapers such as "The Guardian", "The Nation", and "This Day". I have been documented in several publications. My art works have been collected in Nigeria and other countries such as USA, England, and the Netherland to mention a few. I have executed many commissions in painting, sculpture, graphics, art management and other creative fronts. My creative inspiration comes from diverse sources such as life and death, joy and sadness, simplicity and complexity, natural and mysterious essence of life as well as Godliness. I have worked as a draughtsmanship trainee, graphic artist, art teacher, art and culture manager, and curator between 1984 and 2010. I am a member of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA), and Best of lfe group of Artists. My hobbies are reading, writing, watching sports, films, music, nature watch and other forms of art.
