Presenting Eyob

http://eyobartwork.com/

Eyob, is an Ethiopian American artist living in Sioux Falls.

"Even at this time, my concept of art has come into in accordance with the laws of the inner force. The spiritual subject lives, has its own powers and actively modifies the spiritual atmosphere. Nonetheless, painting is not a pointless activity but a power that helps to refine the soul. Art is like daily bread for the soul. However the artist should have a message to convey. A message revolves to him by his inner voice which also accounts for the beauty of his work. Only that is beautiful."

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
