Crowned with Gold
Visual Arts
Crowned with Gold draws from the soul of “Calabar”: a city known for its quiet beauty, gentle rhythm, and deep cultural roots. The figure’s closed eyes symbolize peace and inner stillness, reflecting the calm spirit of a place where life flows without haste. The crown represents honor, heritage, and traditions passed down through generations, while the subtle metallic accents speak to the value of culture, precious, enduring, and often understated. Every detail is a meditation on identity, pride, and the strength found in embracing one’s origins. Through this work, I celebrate culture as a form of wealth — not loud or forceful, but serene and dignified. A reminder that true richness lies in knowing who you are, and resting confidently in that truth.

Dreams in lockdown
Visual Arts
Title: Dreams in lockdown Medium: charcoal and colored pencils on paper Size: 3/4ft Artist: Best Stanley (bestartistry) This piece explores the weight of silence, the battles we fight behind closed doors, and the dreams we sometimes have to pause, not because we don’t believe in them, but because life makes us wait. It reflects those moments when your mind becomes the only place where your hopes still breathe, when you’re holding on, pushing through, and waiting for your own season of freedom. Dreams in Lockdown is a reminder that even when life feels paused, the spirit doesn’t stop imagining more. The heart doesn’t stop longing for better. And the dreamer inside us never truly goes silent.
