About this artwork

By Faith is a deeply personal reflection on hope, resilience, and the power of prayer for a brighter future. As a child, when I first saw images of the Hiroshima explosion, mistaking the terrifying mushroom cloud for something soft and beautiful—a pillow, a cloud, a dream. Now, with the weight of understanding, the piece transforms this memory into a powerful prayer: that all ‘giant land-clouds’ become symbols of peace rather than destruction. It highlights the importance of safeguarding the future for generations to come.

My name is Kamorudeen Toluwani Aruna and, I am a visual painter/muralist from Lagos, Nigeria. I am also a graduate of the Fine Arts Studio program here at Centennial College in the City of Toronto. My inspiration comes from a deep empathetic connection towards kids and, I see myself, as an artist creating under the influence of Afro - Surrealism – a terminology used for artists making West African Inspired Surrealistic Works out of (Nigeria, Benin & Ghana). My conceptual ideas are bordered around the visual representations of fusing African culture and surrealism with the use of sharp colours/contrasted background that feels like old cartoons. The latter stylistic approach can be seen in a consistent character embedded in my artworks named Binge, who is an alter ego. Binge has a box/enclosed cube for a head which, in context is created to protect my ideas from distractions while, placing me within these compositions, allowing me to bear witness. My passion for photography has now led me unto the idea of referencing my original photographs and my imagination. I, primarily paint using Acrylic, Oil, Graphite, and Ink but very interested in expanding my approach with new mediums.
