About this artwork
Nelson Mandela was an inspiration to South Africans and the world, leaving a lasting legacy. In this painting, he is symbolised by a black flamingo flying into the light and against the wind, changing the course of – and thereby inspiring – the other flamingos.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Toyist Dejo is the visionary artist and founder of the influential, international art movement Toyism. As a versatile artist, active as both a painter and printmaker, he forges a remarkable synthesis in his work and life path between rigorous academic training, a profound fascination with world cultures, and sharp business acumen. This unique combination of qualities enabled him to bring Toyism to life: a vibrant, collaborative movement that breaks through the boundaries of individual authorship.
Toyist's oeuvre is distinguished by exceptional craftsmanship, an explosive yet deliberate color palette, and a wealth of narrative symbolism. His visual language, seemingly playful and accessible, serves as a conduit for complex themes: the search for identity in a globalized world, the universal human condition, and the tension between childlike wonder and adult awareness. Aesthetic pleasure is never superficial; it is the carrier of meaning.
