Signed Colorful Modern Expressionist Painting from Ghana, "Look Into My Eyes When Talking"

Says Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adeniran, "The people of Yoruba believe that when one is communicating with someone, there should be eye contact that indicates the person is interested in what the other person has to say." She reflects on this thought while painting this striking expressionist composition. Against a colorful background, several figures are drawn with ink, staring out into the eyes of the viewer. Intricate motifs surround them like a web.
