Time To Shine

Meaning of the painting: A portrait that explores the universal human struggle of realising one’s full potential in the face of societal pressures and fear of failure.

The drawing depicts a man credling a lamp concentrating intently as he increases the brightness of its flame. This simple yet powerful imagery illustrates the inner battle within each of us playing it safe and staying dimly lit versus having the courage to shine as brightly as we can. The man’s furrowed brow and look of determination suggest he is fearful but yet resolute to his inner light glow. The flame represent the unique talents, skills, and passion within all people that yearn to exposed and shared with the world. However the flame starts small and wavering, reflecting the hesitation we often feel to fully be ourselves.

There is uncertainty how society will receive our light and what critics and naysayers may think. Yet the the man persists, gradually building up the fire’s radiance. This caputer how we must bravely fan out talents into their full incandescence, even when we doubt ourselves or face external pressure to conform and play it small.

The title “Time to Shine” is a call to action, reminding viewers that now is always the time to have courage, take risks, and let your inner brilliance and creativity shine bright for all to see. Through this moving artwork, I (ALOKO ARTS) inspire us to be bold and unleash our talent upon the world. When we illuminate the full spectrum of our gifts, but permission others to do the same by the inspiration of our examples.

Portraying Mandela: A Beacon of Hope

Meaning of the painting:  This unique piece of art pays homage to the late Nelson Mandela, a universally celebrated figure who devoted his life to the cause of racial equality and justice. Nelson Mandela Wan more than a political leader: he was a symbol of resistance, resilience, and hope, a beacon that guided millions towards the path of freedom and democracy.

This drawing captured Mandela’s indomitable spirit and unyielding resolve. His portrait, etched with painstaking precision, showcases his innate kindness and unwavering determination, both hallmarks of his character.

His eyes, the windows to his soul, sparkle with an infectious optimism that continues to inspire individuals worldwide, even years after passing.
Mandela’s distinct features are rendered with a depth and nuances that bring him back to life, allowing us to glimpse into the heart of a man who preserved through decades of imprisonment with out ever losing his faith in humanity’s capacity for good. The wrinkles etched on his face serves as silent treatment to his his struggle and triumphs, each a story of resilience and courage in the face of tremendous adversity.

This drawing is not just a tribute to Nelson Mandela, but also a reminder of enduring power of human spirit, resilience, and the essence of Mandela’S legacy: that no matter the adversity faced, the pursuit of equality and freedom is cause worth dedicating one’s life to. And in that dedication, one person can truly change the world.


In the end, the drawing is an attempt to capture the spirit of a man, who in his own words, declared “it’s always seem impossible until it’s done”. Through this artwork, we hope to keep alive the memory of Nelson Mandela, reminding each of us the power persistence, the importance of equality, and enduring strength of the human spirit.
