Her Quest is a powerful and evocative piece, distinguished by its vigorous brushstrokes and bold use of color, evoking a sense of raw emotion and dynamic movement. Dominated by a large figure cloaked in a striking pink hue, the centerpiece commands immediate attention. The figure, though abstracted, suggests a sense of compassion and tenderness as they cradle what appears to be a vessel or an animal, surrounded by a flurry of white birds, their wings outstretched as if poised for flight. The background is a storm of contrasting dark and light shades—deep blacks, and steely grays, with smudges of soft whites blending into each other, creating a tumultuous yet balanced backdrop. These colors collide and bleed into each other, suggesting an atmosphere of uncertainty and chaos that contrasts sharply with the serenity and tenderness of the main figure. This duality within the painting—the chaos versus the calm—invites viewers to contemplate the complex interplay of emotion and environment.
Significant attention has been paid to the textural quality of the painting. The heavy layering of paint adds a palpable depth to the piece, and the visible, vigorous brushstrokes contribute to the overall sense of movement and life within the artwork. The splashes and drips of paint towards the bottom and edges signal an unrestrained energy, hinting at the spontaneous yet deliberate nature of the artist's technique.
Her Quest stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ability to provoke a deep, emotional response. Its abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, urging the viewer to engage with it on a personal level. The synthesis of bold coloration, dynamic composition, and rich texture makes this piece a compelling example of contemporary artistic expression, reflecting the inherent chaos and beauty of the human experience.

Presentation
Francis, Oshorenoya David is a Nigerian Contemporary and Multimedia artist who specializes in painting and photography. He possesses a free mind that enables him to express himself freely without restriction in different techniques or media as a firm believer in the expressive art movement.
Oshorenoya is passionate about Human emotions and existence and he is deeply inspired by events and elements around his environment and the world at large which are deep influences expressed in his creation.
An expressionist who strongly has a way of presenting significant messages through the use of various materials like Charcoal, pieces of fabrics, pastels, and vibrant color pigment to simplify forms depicting figurative images to discuss topics that concern him and society, engaging in different serial paintings that examine different themes centered on the aspect of social, emotional or mental breakdown and happiness, and the general lifestyle of humanity. Another focuses on the Conceptual Beauty and simplicity of the world in connection with the human race and Man's identity to depict freedom to live a peaceful life devoid of social vices, construction, and dictatorship. To this, he stated “The visual appearance of the world has been made simple and beautiful to man, so why should mankind continue to experience suffering? I am bothered about humanity most especially the male figures; so I use my creative language as a means to recognize the role of Man's identity and the struggles encountered due to societal constructions of an ideal personality"
Having done various art exhibitions locally and internationally; he is currently engaged in a Contemporary Art Practice MA program in the United Kingdom UK to further improve his dream to attain artistic excellence.
