Description
"Thy Brother's Keeper" describes a time in every man's life. When he is kept and entrusted with a refiner (a person that keeps them before they become their greatest self). I read the story of David and how he walked with Saul fighting and being sent even after Goliath though he was already anointed to be King. I saw the posture of the two men as regards their responsibility. Saul the brother's keeper was not faithful in guiding David correctly and in humility. He despised his chance at relevance in the next phase of the move of God by being Jealous instead of nurturing. And I saw David, the kept man who refused to despise or hate but stayed in Understanding.

Raw Gold is meant to pass through the fire. At every point of our life, we will be the fire and the raw Gold and it takes wisdom and humility not to overemphasize the roles of these responsibilities.

Eniafe Gbenga

Nigeria  • 1994

Presentation

Born in Lagos (Nigeria) in 1994 and based in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Eniafe Gbenga Michael is a self-taught contemporary visual artist whose work has strong roots in soul-impersonating patterns, expressionism, and figurative realism. Eniafe Gbenga is a graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta with a B.Agric degree in Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology.

Eniafe started out with doing portraits before having a keen interest in body art and face painting using pattern representations of different lines where he later had the opportunity to work with a past political President, a State Governor, a special adviser of a state government, a TEDx event and a notable Bank; all in Nigeria while studying for a degree.

With no formal education in visual art, Eniafe has mastered his craft to a reasonable extent with steady practice, on-field experience, and consistency. Drawing inspiration from his personal experiences and happenings in his society, Eniafe Gbenga's works are based mainly on storytelling, black identity evaluation, Power, and re-addressing racial opportunity sharing.
