The natural cycles of life illustrate the rise and fall of man. Birth, growth, maturity, and eventually death are part of the universal human experience. While we may not have control over the timing or circumstances of these events, we can choose how we respond to them. We can embrace life's challenges and opportunities, appreciate the good times, and find meaning and purpose in the face of adversity.

Even when we fall, we rise again

About the Artist

Faith Ayooluwa Gbadero, is a Nigerian multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, human connection, and inner resilience. Rooted in African heritage and shaped by personal introspection, Faith’s journey into art began as a means of processing emotion and documenting the unseen; what words often fail to express, the canvas makes visible.

Over the years, Faith has developed a distinctive voice through expressive portraiture and symbolic storytelling, using color, texture, and composition to highlight themes of vulnerability, faith, and cultural memory. Each of Faiths' piece carries a narrative—drawn from lived experience, social observation, and spiritual depth.

With works exhibited in group shows and featured in community art projects, Faith continues to use art as a medium for truth-telling, healing, and dialogue. He believes that art is a tool for intellectual discourse, social commentary and also a medium of self-expression and identification. Faith invites viewers into a space where the personal becomes universal and the soul finds its voice
