One day I will find a way (2022)Acrylic painting
by Emmanuel Akolo

£1,859.23

One Day I’ll Find a Way is a visual meditation on the quiet endurance and internal dialogue required to navigate life’s transitions. The subject, enveloped in a luminous white garment, is captured in a moment of intimate sensory connection with a rose—a flower that specifically signifies the hope of a better future. This piece reflects a deep fascination with human resilience and the dignity of the “search,” honoring the courage it takes to remain hopeful while a path forward is still being revealed.

The painting utilizes a bold, high-contrast palette where a vibrant teal background serves as a modern counterpoint to warm, emotive skin tones. Through sharp lighting and deliberate form, the composition emphasizes the subject’s internal strength and the sacred nature of her introspection. By documenting this moment of vulnerability and poise, the work aims to foster empathy and connection, celebrating the universal journey of self-discovery that exists within the everyday.
