NewAdditional Information: Flourishing, a masterpiece by Adegbola Deborah, is a visual testament to the profound philosophy that life's highest calling is not merely survival, but the active pursuit of thriving and flourishing. Against the backdrop of challenging times, the artwork features a woman, adorned with glasses, symbolizing resilience and strength. Her presence becomes a visual metaphor for the human spirit, resilient in the face of adversity. The inclusion of roses delicately arranged in a flower vase in the corner speaks to the transformative power of embracing challenges. As the woman in the artwork embodies the idea that we must not simply "be ourselves," but continuously work on self-improvement, the roses represent the beauty that can emerge from intentional growth. The accompanying title, "Flourishing," serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to not merely exist but to actively engage in the process of personal and societal development. The quote, "Don't 'follow your dreams,' but face your realities. And don't 'live your life,' but live a respectable life," underscores the importance of pragmatic optimism and the pursuit of a meaningful, purpose-driven existence. Adegbola Deborah's creation invites viewers to reflect on the dichotomy between mere survival and the intentional choice to thrive. In the midst of life's complexities, "Flourishing" encourages us to recognize that while we may not be able to do everything, we are empowered to do something impactful, contributing to the collective flourishing of humanity.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Deborah is a very promising budding Nigerian artist who was fortunate to be born into the idyllic serenity of the agrarian town of Saki, surrounded by the immensely inspirational botanical splendor that the community had to offer. These assets combined to nurture the newly discovered talent waiting to be expressed by the young artist who was only fifteen then, having been born in the nineties. Deborah usually derives her creative impulse from nature, everyday experiences, her own sensitive reactions, and her unique interpretation of events and phenomena with a marked inclination towards realism. Hence Deborah's works are at once her own means of catharsis and a vehicle for the showcasing of nature's beauty and by extension human beauty with a particular emphasis on feminine charm. From another perspective, her works represent her own reaction to everyday emerging and re-emerging phenomena hence are inevitably her own self-disclosure. Having been raised within a polygamous home she finds herself equipped with the necessary native intelligence for a mature interpretation of experiences. Deborah is both a gifted artist and a talented scholar. She attended the Polytechnic Ibadan Eruwa campus after which she obtained a degree in fine arts from Olabisi Onabanjo University emerging as the best student at graduation. A prominent part of Deborah's style is the use of flowers or floral background patterns in her works. These serve to reflect her enchantment with nature. Also, traces of impressionism are to be found in her creations. In highlighting feminine assets she chooses to focus on women's nature, strength, and energy. Deborah had a stint at the Universal Studio under the renowned artists Abiola Olaku and Wallace Ejoh in 2017. She plies her trade with excellence in the media of acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and charcoal, Deborah her SIWES at the NIKE arts studio Osogbo, and has gotten some training from a seasoned practitioner like Oluwole Omofemi
