Artwork location: Nigeria
At the center of "Await For Desire" stands a young woman, her expression laden with introspection. Her captivating gaze invites viewers to explore the depths of their own desires and longings. Mayowa's depiction of the woman symbolizes the human capacity for introspection and the journey of self-discovery. Her youth suggests a sense of innocence as if she is at the precipice of embarking on a profound exploration of her desires, dreams, and aspirations.
The rose flower held gently in the young woman's hand adds a layer of intrigue to the artwork. Roses have long been associated with love, desire, and beauty. In this context, the rose becomes a metaphor for the desires that lie within each of us, waiting to be explored and embraced. The delicacy with which the young woman holds the rose signifies the fragility and vulnerability of these desires. The petals, beautifully rendered by Mayowa, exude a sense of purity and grace, mirroring the young woman's own essence.
The title of the artwork, "Await For Desire," suggests a period of patient waiting and introspection. Mayowa invites viewers to contemplate the nature of desire and the role it plays in shaping our lives. The young woman's expression implies a moment of deep reflection as if she is on the cusp of a significant realization or decision. This evokes a sense of intrigue, urging viewers to reflect on their own desires, their significance, and the choices that emerge from such introspection.
Akingbade Mayowa's skill as an artist shines through in "Await For Desire." The meticulous attention to detail in the woman's expression, the subtle play of light and shadow, and the intricate rendering of the rose flower all contribute to the overall impact of the artwork. Mayowa's choice of a muted color palette enhances the introspective mood, allowing viewers to focus on the emotions and thoughts elicited by the artwork.
"Await For Desire" by Akingbade Mayowa is a remarkable artwork that encapsulates the journey of introspection and self-discovery. Through the portrayal of a young woman with a look of profound contemplation, Mayowa explores the depths of human desires and the significance they hold in shaping our lives. The delicate rose flower serves as a metaphor for these desires, embodying their beauty, fragility, and potential. As viewers engage with this captivating piece, they are prompted to embark on their own introspective journeys, contemplating the desires that await their attention and exploration. Mayowa's mastery as an artist is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of introspection and leaving an indelible impression on all who encounter "Await For Desire."

Artist Statement:
My body of work reflects my environment, it emphasizes my past, and present which could possibly lead to the future, I use my art to speak on my past experience during my childhood with, my relatives and friends, and even in the present have been the source of my creation. My works focus on black people as a form of identity as an Africa, I use figurative and portraiture as a way of expression embedded with a dark hue color to capture "HumanExcellence" I employed blending and a light brushwork approach to express myself, and I occasionally exploited my current mood to create a painting and my environment reflect in creating my works. Acrylic is a good medium for me to experiment with because I was influenced by several great artists and have the ability to finish a project with a quick dry effect. To me, my works serve as Freedom, and use the uniqueness of dark color value in their bodies to create human excellence.
