Eternity in our Hearts
ETERNITY IN OUR HEARTS is named after my painting with this title and is my first published book. It was published in April 2009 and is written in two parts. The first part is a Children's book and is very simple reading comprising poetry and a story about how fireflies become stars in our memories. The second part is suitable for general audiences(children and adults) and contains my written interpretations for artworks like "True Miracles" and "Grace", which I usually share with audiences in schools, museums, and various other venues. It contains many images of my paintings and examines how visual interpretation is turned in my work into written communication and vice versa. Translated from the Yoruba language into English, it is 40 pages long and printed on heavy stock paper. I hope that you enjoy it and can share with your parents, children, neighbours and friends.
