Survival of Lalibela

- Medium – Acrylic on canvas

- It’s known for its distinctive rock-cut churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, which are pilgrimage sites for Coptic Christians. Carved out of rock, the subterranean monoliths include huge Bete Medhane Alem, and cross-shaped Bete Giyorgis. Recent voyages in Ethiopia The Lalibela area has been overrun by unscrupulous defenses. At the time, I thought it was a picture of a free account.

May peace flow like rivers across Ethiopia, and may joy—untouched by sorrow—fill every heart.
May the voices of peace rise high above the mountains.
With our dreams soaring beyond the skies,
may the land of Ethiopia—from north to south, from east to west—be a realm of peace, where the sound of war is never heard.
May swords be transformed into plowshares;
may the clamor of conflict turn into hymns of peace.
Alternate of the Generation

- In this artistic presentation, free will represents the struggle between individual identity and social, political, and philosophical influences. True freedom IS not mean an absence of limits; rather, it entails actively exercising choice while respecting the rights of others and ensuring that our own freedom does not become a source of oppression for anyone else. It is the art of living together while upholding human dignity—where action is not driven solely by our own free will, but guided by the balanced wisdom of social coexistence.
State and Religion
- Size – 65cm x 70cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas
- Year – 2022
- My understanding of the continent is that politics don’t seem to take its moral worth into account. In comparison to religion, politics provides morality less room. State and religion have long been kept apart. The political and religious frameworks in my country recognized that the philosophy of mind is fundamentally different, but it has not been physically applied, leading to a crisis in both the social and religious spheres. The verse in Matthew’s Gospel chapter 6 at verse 24 is the holy concept that has helped me the most in writing about this “Man can have two masters, but he will either hate the first and love the second, or he will cling to the first and despise the latter. You cannot worship both God and money.”
The Persistence of the Trinity

-
Three women stand as one: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, each holding a thread of the same life. Proverbs gives order, Ecclesiastes gives doubt, and Job gives endurance through loss. Behind them, the world is fractured and burning with gold, yet they remain upright on unstable ground.
They differ in voice but share one truth: meaning is not handed to us complete. It is woven slowly, through wisdom, questioning, and suffering, and it persists.
Speech of the Spirit
- Size – 80cm x 80cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas
- Year – 2025
- Our spirit knows no boundaries; at times, it transcends the physical realm to stand within the realm of the soul. It invites us to gain a comprehensive understanding of human existence and inspires us to live in harmony—both within ourselves and in our relationships with others—by recognizing the profound connection between our material and non-material selves. It is a dialogue that transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries!
JAN HOY

- Ethiopianism, in my opinion, represents freedom for the entire black peoples. My paintings mostly focus on the poet leaders who emphasize Ethiopianism as subject matter. I was inspired to create this work of art by one of Hile Selase I’s lectures. “Thousands of years ago, civilizations flourished in Africa that had no suffering compared to other continents. In those centuries, Africans were politically independent and economically independent.
Virtual Echoes of Piazza
- Size – 80cm x 80cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas
- Year – 2026
- Piazza, the old heart of Addis Ababa, is remembered here in amber and fire. Buildings dissolve into tangled lines, and a crowd of dark figures gathers at the center, with a donkey and its people among them, as if the street itself were still alive. The old village is no longer solid, only an echo. This work asks what we carry with us when a place transforms, and who we become when memory is all that remains.

The Face of a Nation
- Size – 60cm x 70cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas

-
An elderly woman wears a cracked crown, dignified and looking ahead. Her lined face reflects a land shaped by time and tradition, where every line tells the story of a life intertwined with history.
The cracks run through her crown and skin alike, the marks of politics that divided and wounded. Yet she does not look away: a nation damaged but enduring, its beauty still visible beneath the scars.
አድዋ adwa
- Size – 250 cm x 140cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas
- Year – 2023
- The Victory of Adwa is not merely a triumph over colonialism; it is a monumental historical event that defines the very essence of humanity. It is a blessing for all who cherish freedom and equality, embodying the hope and resilience of an entire people. The Victory of Adwa stands as a beacon of hope for oppressed peoples across the globe. It demonstrates that, no matter how formidable an oppressor may appear, resistance and victory are possible. The Ethiopian people united to fight for their freedom, and their triumph inspired other African nations to do the same. Moreover, Adwa is not just an Ethiopian victory; it is a symbol for Black people everywhere. It showcased Ethiopia—a cradle of African civilization—as a nation possessing a rich history and culture worthy of preservation. Furthermore, Adwa exemplifies the power of unity. Ethiopians set aside their differences to rally for a common cause. Casting aside personal interests, they strove toward a noble goal: safeguarding their independence. This serves as a lesson for us all, demonstrating that standing together enables us to achieve greatness. Ultimately, Adwa represents a profound covenant—one through which we gained our freedom at the cost of our forefathers' lives. It is imperative that the sacrifice made by our forefathers not be in vain, and that the coming generation upholds its pledge by remaining steadfast in the cause of freedom, equality, and unity. May this image serve as a tribute to those who left the comfort of their homes to fight in the wilderness during the Battle of Adwa, and to all oppressed Black people.
Whispers of the Wounded Earth
- Size – 122 cm x 55cm
- Medium – Acrylic on canvas
- Year – 2025
- This work was inspired by a recent earthquake in our country; it gives voice—through natural sounds—to the pain and hidden strength that nature has held within. It portrays the Earth as a living soul: wounded and enraged, yet mighty—breaking its silence through movement and inner power. By transforming the Earth’s gentle breath—and a language of nature’s lament that humanity has failed to comprehend—into a universal message, the piece calls for a profound artistic connection, respect, and harmony between humanity and the world it inhabits.

- For a mixture of two and more The result is a combination or one that is not dual; The first unit of a number is one unit, and so is the unit. And when divine unity is interpretation , we say that the Son of God, the Firstborn, who was not a follower, was born without a mother, a father, a body, and then he was born without a father from Mary and took her body finally the two nature became one body. Ahadu and Wahed are both the same in Geez terminology. But it is a mixture of many. Many have created two worlds from one world, creating many identities from one body into the natural He failed to restore unity.
INTERCONECTED

- Year – 2025
- Some of the chains of social cohesion are invisible — they are more than just visible. History, faith, culture, and philosophy do not bind us together; rather, they bind us in a steady spiritual movement. They shape our thoughts, define our boundaries of freedom, provide us with a common identity, and bring a peaceful order to our lives. These values form the free and peaceful historical constructions!.
