"It's Always Too Soon To Quit" is an Impasto painting that demands attention. The technique of impasto involves applying thick layers of paint to create a textured surface, giving the painting a three-dimensional quality. Oluwaferanmi masterfully employs this technique, infusing his artwork with a dynamic energy that draws viewers into its depths.

The focal point of the painting is a woman who confidently reveals her right breast, symbolizing both vulnerability and empowerment. The woman's body language exudes strength and self-assuredness, challenging societal norms and expectations. The brushstrokes are expressive and gestural, conveying a sense of movement and emotion. The vibrant colors used by the artist, particularly in the woman's figure, add to the painting's intensity and evoke a strong visual impact.

Oluwaferanmi's "It's Always Too Soon To Quit" delves into several profound themes. One prominent theme is resilience, represented by the woman's defiant posture. The painting serves as a reminder that despite life's challenges and setbacks, it is crucial to persevere and never give up. Oluwaferanmi invites viewers to reflect on their own struggles and find inspiration in the strength of the human spirit.

The painting also touches on the concept of self-acceptance and challenging societal norms. By confidently revealing her breast, the woman in the painting asserts her autonomy and challenges the societal taboos surrounding the female body. Oluwaferanmi encourages viewers to embrace their true selves, irrespective of societal expectations or judgments.

Oluwaferanmi's impasto technique enhances the emotional impact of the artwork. The thick layers of paint create texture and depth, allowing viewers to experience the painting's tactile qualities visually. The artist's bold brushstrokes evoke a sense of movement and urgency, capturing the raw emotions inherent in the subject matter.

The vibrant color palette chosen by Oluwaferanmi further enhances the painting's visual impact. The contrasting hues evoke a range of emotions, from passion and strength to vulnerability and tenderness. The artist's deliberate choice to focus on the woman's left breast draws attention to the feminine form while emphasizing the idea of embracing one's body and celebrating its natural beauty.

Okeowo Oluwaferanmi's impasto painting, "It's Always Too Soon To Quit," stands as a testament to the resilience, courage, and self-acceptance inherent in the human experience. Through bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a thought-provoking subject, the artist captures the essence of the woman's strength while challenging societal norms. This artwork invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys and find inspiration in the indomitable spirit of the human soul. Oluwaferanmi's masterful technique and powerful artistic vision make "It's Always Too Soon To Quit" a compelling piece that leaves a lasting impression on those who encounter it.
