Life is an Opportunity

- Mother Teresa - Mike Cameron

Acrylic paint over carved mdf board with lacquer finish.

This exhibition is dedicated to creating a moment in time for the viewer, whether it be through a quote, a smell, a taste, or even music. These elements will evoke memories for many of us.

Travel and movement through the combining of cultures. I want my work to address the historical contexts of cultural travel and movement, including colonialism, imperialism, trade routes, globalisation and how these historical processes have shaped our contemporary cultural landscape and identities.

The paintings in this exhibition feature individuals who have inspired through their actions and quotes. Whether you agree or disagree with what they represent or have said, these figures have undeniably shaped the world as it is today.

Mother Teresa helped the poor by living among them, sharing their experiences, and treating them with kindness, compassion, and empathy—never pity.

This painting's words speak of life, emphasizing hope over despair and optimism over pessimism. Life is a fleeting moment; live it fully, learn from it, and strive to leave the world better than we found it.

I believe in starting at home, with love.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty , admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete if. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, don't destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. ( Mother Teresa )

I hope you enjoy this exhibition, and gain something from it. Because, in the words of a very wise man “The closest thing to immortality is to share knowledge". ( Dalai Lama)
