Keeping a strong retainment to his gift and purpose, Gesalo ultimately frees himself, within his mission to cultivate and propagate creative and intellectual capacities in others – by transforming duressness, captivity and faith in art.

Artistic approach


Emmanuel Gesalo’s floral fabric ‘’ strapped’’ portraits, with the exposing of exploitation of raw materials and minerals – reflects the inner and outer salvation of captivity. He uses acrylic as medium and floral fabrics to portray the greenery and beauty of his African homeland.

Realizing the importance of freeing oneself from the inside, expressing what is deep inside (your gift), and being aware of all the ways you can overcome obstacles – the works emphasize the conductivity of purpose and also how personal view and retainment is instrinsically tied to a man’s fulfilling dreams. African men are especially challenged in his art to leave their pshychological, social, spiritual and physical prisons. Gesalo generally holds to the view that it is important for men to cultivate and propagate their creative and intellectual capacities.
