“The Weight We Carry” speaks to something deeply familiar — the quiet endurance passed down through generations. It captures the unseen labor of existing within expectation, tradition, and survival.

The water pots represent more than just physical burden — they echo the emotional and cultural weight many are taught to carry in silence. The layered textures and deliberate drips reflect what spills out when holding everything becomes too much. It’s messy. It’s human. It’s honest.

The figure stands with dignity, not defeat — a portrait of balance, fragility, and inner strength coexisting in one frame.

Currently exhibited at ELAHO Museum.
The original is available, along with limited signed prints.

💸 Price: N1,000,000

For sale: $295. 3 limited prints, by Osa The Artist. Printed 2023. Hand made treated frame.

In the words of Osa The Artist:

Title: Remembering who you are

Narrative: This is a painting from a picture I took of my son reflecting in a park. The intent behind the painting is to remind us that in life
when we feel lost or hopeless, what helps is to retrace our steps or go back to that place from where we can see the mirror to
our pure and complete souls. In looking and remembering, we find wholeness and debatable perfection.

Artist Narrative:

Title: Bathing in His Son

Our exposure to the Sun has a myriad of benefits to
humans including mood booster, sleep regulator, and
blood pressure reducer. We should not be lost on the
fact that these are limited improvements in
comparison to when we expose and Bath in His Son –
The Son of Man.
With Him, we are actually required to be still and
know He is God. In being still, we are invited to release
all that is there to release. The pain, anguish, deep
deep loss, reckless discrimination and invisibility.
Here, The Son says, welcome my son and daughter,
you can give is all to me now. Now, Rest.

We are ecstatic and honored to have the fabulous Osa Elaiho join us for our first official episode of The Idea Gym! Since many of us identify creativity as art, we thought we would lean into this perspective and hear directly from an artist about what creativity is.

Osa , a Nigerian born artist who has been painting for over two decades shares his thoughts on creativity and beautifully describes his creative process for painting. When we think like artists, the creative problem solving process naturally emerges. 

We invite you to listen along using the link in our bio. Happy listening!

Artist narration of the work:

A prayer for a young man to live into who he is. A young prince who becomes a king. His wealth will not be measured in finances, rather, in wisdom, community, experience and education. His clenched fist is symbolic of his strength and ability to create impact in the world starting with his local community.
