This painting is about happy faces, patterns and circles. Lekan feels ‘happy’ looking at his piece and the piece is about happiness. 

There are patterns in Lekan’s piece. 

Using paint makes Lekan feel ‘happy’. The price has been painted first and then drawn on top of. Lekan likes the colours and thinks that they look ‘good together’. Yellow, which is in the piece, is Lekan's ‘favourite colour’. 

Lekan created this piece from looking at a reference of abstract face motifs, practising drawing faces that are getting increasingly complicated over time.
