Sisters In Stride (2025)Acrylic painting by Emmanuel Akolo

50.8 x 60.96 x 3.81cm (unframed) / 50.8 x 60.96cm (actual image size)

£655.1

In this work, I explore the sacred intersection of shared effort and the quiet fortitude of the human spirit. I have captured three figures moving in synchronized harmony against an expansive, airy horizon, balancing structural rhythm with a sense of emotive freedom. By documenting this collective journey, I aim to transcend the physical weight of their burdens to find the inherent grace within the struggle. I utilized layered, expressive brushwork and earthy ochre tones to foster a narrative of love, resilience, and communal dignity. This painting is my tribute to the beauty of sisterhood and the strength found in moving together toward a common goal. I want the viewer to witness this stride not just as a cultural document, but as a shared human experience that bridges divides through the language of persistence and mutual support. It is a celebration of the quiet power we carry when we walk in stride with one another.
