In The Darkest Hour #MeToo My Intention: This initiative encompasses the outbursts of varying struggles of women as part of society, thereby rallying you and I to own major stakes in the transformation of our eco system. I have been observing patterns for several years, which has now accumulated. Hence forcing me to create "In The Darkest Hour" as part of my ongoing Series "Through Heaven's Eyes". My artistic contibrutiion to the #MeToo movement With several stories currently going round the media on Sexual Abuse Scandals, from the 3-10 years jail sentence of Bill Crosby (said to be the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo Era), to the recent allegation of Sexual Assault against US Supreme Court nominee Judge Hon. Brett M. Kavanaugh,  the accuser, Dr. Christine Bladder Ford says the major reason why she has come out is in her responsibility "To Tell The Truth".  Stage One " Talking about telling the truth, It is quite unfort...

Aliya Done on with the charcoal Medium on Paper Don't grow up. Time tells of old tales Or so the teller tells Memories may mark your light More memories may mar your night But don't forget the splash of colours Swimming through your rainbow lenses Don't forget crumbs of crawling favours Sprinkled on the sands of time Girl, don't grow up. But if you do, Don't loose your sight, For they see "Through Heaven's Eyes" A close up shot to the Drawing- Aliya done by Fatola Israel  MY INSPIRATION   My name is Fatola Israel and I just want YOU to be inspired. I have so many things to say (as an Artist, musician, and a photographer). However,  let me begin by introducing to you the very first work off my ongoing series "Through Heaven's Eyes". What do you think about Aliya's countenance? Does it make you question so many things like I do?  Does it make you feel things could be better if we take that one step? ...

Fatola's The Voice of the Voiceless Your understanding and appreciation of this piece "The Voice of the Voiceless" lies in my intent to create. This can be enhanced by asking the questions, "Why was this created?" and What is it's purpose?" My Candid Answer: By replicating reality in the finest detail, I have simply pursued Truth. It's very simple. The reason why I have created this piece is an attempt to reveal the Truth about how the world looks, and how it works.  My aim is to force you to confront Azeez' troublesome gaze. And I sincerely hope the truth I discover (which I believe is endless) provides a valid commentary on his condition as a human. Throughout my Project "Through Heaven's Eye's", I will be reaching outward to describe truths of "others". Truth about humanity - by puting myself in their position, and trying to reflect with a great honesty, their innermost acclaim. experiences and emotions. ...

In all spheres of existence, humanity is faced with challenges which severely test the resilience of the human spirit. In confronting these existential issues, man has relied on his ingenuity, resourcefulness, innovative and improvisational abilities, as survivalist modes. Story Of My Life Detailed Shot For the artist, these attributes can be creatively applied, using the channel of artistic media, to address issues, as well as experiences that highlight the resilience of the human spirit to adapt to changes; move beyond all odds, and meaningfully appraise the past, positively engage the present and lay a better foundation for tomorrow. This has been the reason for the creation of this artwork titled "Story Of My Life". Based on this analogy, summing up my experience as an undergraduate.

Last year September 2016, something happened and it will change my life forever. An old friend and I got into a very tense argument. He called me "Akúsèé" meaning a wretched and/or poor person. He said so many other silly things about me. I didn't forget (I don't think I ever will). At that time, I told myself that I would make him regret what he said on that very day. Series of events had came and gone, and I'm still driven by the passion and urge to make a mark, and to prove to the world, (and to those who look down on me) that I've got something on the inside, a virtue that doesn't need anyone's permission to triumph, even in the face of adversity. A few weeks ago, that "Old Friend" of mine was one of who joined my rally for votes in the recently concluded  # FarabaleArtBeat2 .0 which I won. I THANK GOD for where I am today and where I aspire to reach in the coming years. Everyone holds hi...
