Freedom
Meaning of the painting: Being free as a person is the ultimate expression of individuality and self-determination. It means having the liberty to make choices, pursue dreams, and live life in alignment with personal values. True freedom involves not just the absence of physical constraints but also the ability to think, speak, and act without fear of oppression or discrimination. It’s the feeling of breaking free from mental and emotional limitations, embracing one’s unique identity, and charting one’s own course in this diverse and ever-evolving world. In this state of freedom, individuals can explore their potential, experience genuine happiness, and contribute positively to the broader tapestry of human existence.
Size of the Painting: 5 ft by 3ft

Artist Bio
Mustapha Marray Conteh
During Covid Snazzy started a new technique borne out of trying to help local mask carvers who were out of business due to travel restrictions. He bought the masks from the carvers and painted them with diverse designs and an array of colours changing the perspective of masks that are usually black or brown.
Snazzy is a self taught visual artist who has been showcasing his art since joining The Barray in 2015. Among his body of work are pencil drawings and portraits, abstract paintings on canvas with vibrant colours and designs using the one line technique. He believes artists should not conform to rules if they want to reach their full potential in creating. He is open to collaboration with other artists.
