Artwork location: Nigeria

Two figures sit back-to-back, close enough to feel each other's presence, yet turned toward different silences. They share the same space, the same stillness, even the same weight of thought, but not the same moment. Between them lives a quiet tension, the kind that doesn't shout, but refuses to leave. The title reads like a plea: not for company, but for understanding. Be alone with me, not beside me, not against me, but within the same unspoken feeling. It is the desire to be seen without turning around, to be felt without explaining, to be met in a place where words no longer reach. They could be two people drifting apart, or one person split in two,caught between what is felt and what is shown. The distance between their gazes becomes louder than any conversation they could have had. And yet, their backs remain connected, as if something still holds them there, something unfinished, something unwilling to let go. This piece lives in that fragile space where presence and absence coexist, where being together can still feel like being completely alone.

Presentation

David Akolo is a contemporary visual artist based in Nigeria who works primarily with acrylics. He initially turned to visual art as a vital form of personal therapy—a creative sanctuary to navigate and distance himself from challenging societal ills. Under the direct mentorship and guidance of his brother, Emmanuel, David developed his creative foundations and technical approach, channeling his personal experiences into a dedicated studio practice.

Akolo's paintings beautifully intersect figurative realism with a loose, atmospheric impressionism. His technique employs expressive brushwork and rich textures to build deeply emotional compositions.

Deeply focused on the psychological landscape of the human condition, David's practice explores themes of shared community, inner strength, and personal vulnerability. By leaving distinct facial features ambiguous or entirely unrendered, his subjects transcend specific identities, speaking instead to universal human experiences, internal contemplation, and the silent emotions we all carry. Ultimately, his art serves as a therapeutic storytelling medium designed to foster deeper empathy and mutual understanding.
