Art of Taskin

Kuona Trust, the Centre for Visual Arts in Kenya held its Art Walk, Valentine Edition on 14 February 2015  at Kuona Trust itself and some Artists,including myself from Kenya represented some of our artworks at the one day event.  It was a great day filled with art, food, music, sun and fun ( and a bit of rain towards the end! )..... As guests and visitors trickled in, they had the chance to view art, walk around stands, meet with the artists and interact too! while relaxing with some bitings and music playing in the background!..... The Art was on display from 10 am to 6 pm and entry was free! Watch out for more events coming soon ! .....

The piece ' The Sun' is dedicated to the expression of hope, life and death  and spiritual growth. After storms and rain, the sun always rises again...a symbol of the quest to find hope and renewal. Here, the Sun can also be associated with the cycle of life, whereby as a child is born the sun rises, the child grows up and reaches a peak in life represented by the sun reaching a peak in mid afternoon, the grown person begins to slowly grow old as the sun slowly begins to set and finally the person dies as the sun sets. The sun sets but also rises again representative of the soul rising after the death of a person or the movement from the physical realm to a spiritual realm, life after death, or the after life.  The Sun oil on canvas 80 cm x 80 cm
