“God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy, and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen.” God has indeed answered the prayers often sung by the British and the people of Commonwealth nations in honour of the most famous Queen in the world by granting her longevity and making her the longest reign monarch in the world. In line with the theme of my works – the Fact of life; Roses and Thorns, Queen Elisabeth II has been enjoying the sweet rosy aroma of the pleasantness of life. Despite her Rosy Reign, her rosy life is not without some thorns and the thorniest episode of her life is the death of the love of her life – her “Comic Companion” of 73 years – her “beloved Philip.” This is what influences this work – Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee: Her Rosy Reign. Prince Philip had been the pillar of support for Queen Elisabeth II throughout the 69 years of her reign. His sense of humour was one of the sources of ENERGY that gave the Queen strength during the thorny times of her life. In this painting, I am depicting that Prince Philip is still backing the Queen behind the curtain of death that did them part.

O. Yemi Tubi - An Artist and Advocate for the world’s Peace. I am a Nigerian-born, American-trained Artist residing in the United Kingdom an artist with a unique personal style. Most of my recent paintings were influenced by the political and social upheaval of our world today and the works of Renaissance artists. “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art” so said Paul Cezanne; I was moved by emotion to do most of my political and socially influenced paintings “THE EAGLE HAS LANDED” was done to speak about the American-led war on terror. My painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES” was done in solidarity with Christians beheaded by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. I used my paintings “AFRICAN’T”, “HUNGER IN THE LAND OF PLENTY” and “OIL: AFRICANS’ WEALTH AND WOE” to speak about the exploitation of African nations. The Painting depicts paradoxical poverty and the riches of Africa. my work, “THE FISHERS OF MEN” is about the horror of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. I also used my painting – “UKRAINE: THE UNFORTUNATE BRIDE” to speak about the America and Russia-influenced war in Ukraine. I desire my portrait paintings to be uniquely creative. I do not copy images from pictures. I create what the camera cannot create. I use portrait paintings to tell the stories about my subjects and often use my subjects’ professions to create their portraits as I did with the portrait of Professor Wole Soyinka, 1986 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature in my painting “SOYINKA: An Africans’ Literary Icon”, I used artist materials to create my painting “PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST” and I used the violin to create the face of my subject in the “THE VIOLINIST” My works progress from political paintings to paintings of the facts of the life of people. The theme of my works, in general, is "The Facts of Life: Roses and Thorns." Life is roses and thorns; sometimes it emanates the sweet aroma of pleasantness and sometimes it pricks and causes pains. I often use Roses and Thorns for portrait paintings of the facts of the life of people. I first used Roses and Thorns in my political painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES.” Since then I have adopted this floral iconography style - Roses and Thorns as my unique style in some of my paintings like “DOMESTIC ABUSE”, and “MY MOTHER, Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee: Her Rosy Reign” to name a few. Roses are for achievements and other positive parts of life and Thorns are painful challenges and negative parts of life.
