The latest painting of Ayomikun Omoyiola, A 10 year old Nigeria female artist. She titled her work ‘Dancing Vases’ Here she depicts 5 flower vases of the same size, which overlaps on each other. The vases are with beads embolden on their necks represented with circular shapes. While at the upper part, there are flowers of different species with bright colours overlapping each other…According to the young artist, she said the vase at the Centre is standing straight while the two others, both at the right and left are bent. This is to indicate they are dancing. She employed dark colours at the background to create a contrast in her painting against the bright colours in the picture.

The model of the vases is in form of feminine shapes. These were dancing except for the centered flower vase. The flowers could be said to be patterns found on the head gear most women wear to occasions like wedding, burial ceremony and any other celebration. Thus, the young artist has been able to put her inspiration into expression, the beauty of nature! The dark background shows the nature of gloominess, moodiness and depression that people pass through, the young artist employs all and sundry to dance and be cheerful irrespective of what surrounds them. Ayomikun will continue to make more research into creative activities across the globe to ensure she update herself on matter concerning visual art in the global village. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson ‘every great artist was once an amateur’. To this end Ayomikun has not attained, she is still undergoing her studio practice in visual arts.
