Atupa mi (my light)
ATUPA MI a yourba word meaning (MY LIGHT) is a painting done with oil on canvas, it is used to depict the relationship between parents and children. The covering of the light so as not to quench and shine bright for the word to see.
we as children are the light of the world and it's our parents and guidance responsibility to protect us so as not to die without fulfilling our purposes in life.
It's believed by the Yoruba, one of the major tribes in Nigeria that every human has a lamp and once quenched such a person dies or loses value and purpose in life which is why we all need to take good care of it because we can only win the race of this darkness called life with our light shining bright so as to see and for others to see us, and the Bible also buttressed this by calling us the light of the world.
I enjoyed every minute and hours I put into the painting of this painting as I so much value the value it stands for and wish you do also.
