Eyob, Seeds of life, 2008.

.

Vens a mim

pequeno como um deus,

frágil como a terra,

morto como o amor,

falso como a luz,

e eu recebo-te

para a invenção da minha grandeza,

para rodeio da minha esperança

e pálpebras de astros nus.

.

Nasceste agora mesmo. Vem comigo.

Jorge de Sena, "Eternidade", in Perseguição.

Note:

Eyob: «This painting is about the concept of "Axum". I have taken religious and symbolic elements [...] paintings and continued to use them to progress and grow in this concept. Thus, the composition of each painting tends to develop even more. However, the fact remains that it is highly important to create an identity to each painting that not only stirs our emotions but opens the mind to a new perspective of art.»
