We gave our seasons, our pride, relationships, our affection, romance, good and bad, our religions plus scepter of life. After all was given, we gave our selves.

I drove my motivation as I was painting because of the love we have for some things in our daily life to achieve a lot of the situation and hardships, in that we are forced to work at a very young age, because you need money to educate yourself, our parents don’t earn a lot that we become an extra hand through helping them.

For the love we have in our African communities young girls are forced to sell themselves, sleep around with different men because they give them money and promise them a lot. This comes in as they want to achieve their goals, take care of their sisters and brothers because they are the eldest in family and at some point they are from single parenthood or even orphans that all the responsibilities look up to them

This painting is describing a boy who is going through a lot of situations but still hoping that it will all end well and victor

“For our love”
