Nigerian Impressionist – Emmanuel Anaiye: “Art is a means of self-expression. I am a storyteller.  Join me on this visual journey because the journey is a reward.”

Emmanuel Anaiye artistic expression takes a critical view of social challenges, such as child education, abuse, domestic violence, and cultural issues.  He says.

 In portraying African women and children, my work explores the varying relationships between facial expression and fine art.  I do believe in the saying that the face is a window to a person’s soul, so I create art that means different things to people.  In my 2019 painting The Fruit Of Silence  a woman is carrying a fruit and the fruit is what the world sees but her mouth is tied and she can't really speak what is in her heart for various reason.
