genesis of gratitude

Painting Synopsis:

00:00 / 02:35

“Genesis of Gratitude,” reveals how gratitude is the substructure that upholds the highly profitable, pleasurable and passionate life of praise.



As the viewer revels on the intensely ferocious red hue inundating the painting, he is abruptly arrested and entirely consumed by a shear expression of unyielding commitment in the line rendered composer, who, despite a violin bow that might suggest debilitation, primitivity and penury, naturally abides in a restful and peaceful state epitomized by disparate notes of praise ceaselessly gushing from the pores of his being to be expressed by the musical instrument. In the midnight of his quandary, the worshipper has stood courageous, thwarted the odds, birthed a novel rhythm, and duly received renewed strength.



Defined in his Kingdom Lexicon as a daring and bodacious spirit with the capacity to swallow up sickness and banish every evil besetting any human, true praise is the power which splits boulders blocking the course to any Man’s glorious destiny and the force that empowers his faith in God to deliver. In essence, passionate, perennial and persevering praise, thanksgiving and worship are undeniable proofs of authentic faith.


Executed between 2004-2022, the dignity of the subject, the depth of feeling, and the complexity of means within a very limited range imbued in “Genesis of Gratitude make it one of Nya’s incomparable works from his series, “Above the Horizon.”
