MY FIREFLIES MUSICAL THEATER AND PAINTING

February 24, 2023. 

They say if you write about events in your life you can't control, it helps to make them understandable. I cannot tell how all these things happened last week in Jim Thorpe,  Pennsylvania, but I know that some wonderful things were hidden from the learned, and revealed to the innocent.

MY FIREFLIES Short Movie PremiereD ON JUNE 27, 2020

My Fireflies (AKA "Eternity in our Hearts" in Nigeria and the UK), is a film set in West Africa. Growing up, Ibi loved to catch fireflies. This movie explores how that childhood activity showed him the true meaning of love as an adult. This  version is derived from the full length movie released in 2019, and was made at the request of Pennsylvania Firefly Festival(PAFF) and Fireflyers International Network(FIN) to premiere at PAFF on June 27 and World Firefly Day on July 4th and 5th, 2020.

About THE ARTIST

"We associate a fall with failure, but I tell you, most things that have ever fallen, became great. Look at the rain! See how it brings life to earth, not by force, but just by falling. We fall in love. Seeds fall to the ground, die and rise again to become powerful trees. Saints fell on their knees to pray, and were lifted up by Grace. So don't be afraid of falling, because at your lowest is where you find greatness!"  - Ibiyinka



About Me

My Background

My Inspiration

My Background

 I am an artist. As a little boy, I enjoyed catching fireflies and looking up at stars. They fascinated me. Whenever I look up to the sky, I made pictures out of stars by connecting the dots in my mind. 

My Medium

My Inspiration

My Background

I use many different mediums, such as water color, acrylics, oils and tempera. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My Inspiration

My Inspiration

 E. Bamisaiye Alao, my father,  had the sort of majestic presence ascribed to a king. But when he smiled, it was as if a sunrise had blazed through the cracks of his gaped tooth, making his face magnificent. He enjoyed just being himself. Dad is my only hero and he inspired me to be the artist I am.
