Medium: Oil on canvas Dimension: 50x78in Year: 2020 Keywords: soft, realistic, heavily coated, colourful, textured Description: The sitter in the painting is Nnanta Emem Tiene The Oil painting "ayando" (will you marry me), is composed of a maiden with red rose that points toward the village cape behind her. She is composed but yet seems lost in contemplation of the message by the rose. The village cape is serene and lonely representing the life of a bachelor who calls upon her to be part of his world and help him bring life into it. "Ayando" is a painting that is meant to acknowledge the role of women in family growth, peace and happiness. It also expresses in a glorious moment the importance of the word "ayando" ( will you marry me) to ladies and therefore condemn the act of forceful and teenage marriage upon women. The painting took a period of one year to be completed and was subjected to lots of studies. Village cape was captured from Gembu local government in Taraba State Nigeria.
