NewAdditional Information: Nature Call, an enchanting artwork, captures the essence of artistic harmony through the portrayal of a woman playing the keyboard, evoking a symphony that resonates with the beauty of the natural world. Created with finesse, this piece by Achike Miracle Anayo not only celebrates the skillful mastery of music but also invites viewers into a realm where the sounds of the keyboard become a metaphorical call of nature. The figure of the woman immersed in her musical expression serves as a conduit between the realms of art and nature. The keyboard, an extension of her artistic prowess, becomes a vessel through which she communicates with the unseen forces of the natural world. The synergy between the musician and her instrument creates a visual poetry that mirrors the rhythms and melodies found in the environment. The title, "Nature Call," suggests a beckoning to the organic and elemental, as if the music produced has the power to summon the essence of the natural world. Whether through the gentle notes that mimic a babbling brook or the crescendos that emulate a storm's fury, the artwork weaves a narrative that transcends the boundaries of the concert hall, transporting the audience to a place where music and nature coalesce. In this captivating depiction, Achike Miracle Anayo not only captures the technical prowess of the musician but also imbues the scene with a sense of spiritual connection. "Nature Call" becomes a testament to the transformative power of music, illustrating how it can channel the spirit of the wild, allowing us to momentarily escape into a world where the boundaries between art and nature dissolve into harmonious unity.

Highly known for his distorted human figures. The human figure typically embodies the narratives he wants to share with his audience. He covers the eyes of police officers with Nigerian/foreign currencies to delineate their obsession with extortion and bribery. The bulgy eyes of his subjects depict the fact that we live in a generation where everyone is exposed, knowledgeable, and wise in their own eyes, without realizing that they can also self-imprison themselves with their knowledge. The stretched necks of his figures portray the insatiable nature of man/woman, in all their getting and achievements man keeps looking for and striving to acquire more., the absence of the ear in his figures is his way of reckoning that people of his generation do not listen and often go against advice, counsel, or rebuke. He uses his art not just as a hobby, but as a means of communicating, preaching, and advocating for global peace, love, tolerance, justice, self-esteem, and a better world for the human race.
