BREAKING THE BOREDOM

Sometimes in life, I feel we have one or two things we all share together, and now I already understand that we all share somethings together. No matter your religion, tribe, and country, there is something called ‘feelings’, which comes in form of Laughter, Sorrow, sadness, happiness, moodiness, and anything to qualify your feelings. I was looking for a way to preach this commonness which we all share and I thought of ART. Art is a way of expressing your feelings and emotions.

Some people might say Art is a way of life or Art is life itself, true, well said but remember, this so called Art is a living soul for us, as the Planet which we dwell will be an ‘EH’ and boring if there was no ART (EARTH)!!!!. You see the uniqueness in the word ‘art’? Also we will just be an ordinary ‘He’ if there was no ART in our HEART. We live to showcase our feelings in different ways. I collaborated with Fashion, a medium of showcasing art, and this is what this edition is all about. Enjoy this Art and Fashion edition as I present to you the Governor of Lagos State’s ambition towards art. He is such an icon to watch out for in bringing art to a destination. A lot of celebrities and upcoming artiste/talents are also featured in this lovely publication and don’t forget to check through the art gallery for the beautiful works of art around the world in this edition.
