"'Garden of Delight' by Ajarb Bernard Ategwa is a vibrant showcase of resilience and joy, blending urban culture with universal emotions through bold colors and dynamic forms."

Ajarb Bernard Ategwa's "Garden of Delight" is a captivating exhibition showcasing the Cameroonian artist's journey from a self-taught portraitist to an internationally recognized painter. Initially facing discouragement, Ategwa's persistence and dedication to his art led him to develop a unique style that blends realistic elements with abstraction, capturing the vibrancy and dynamism of urban life in Douala, Cameroon. His work is characterized by bold lines, solid colors, and a lively narrative that reflects the energy of his generation.

The "Garden of Delight" exhibition marks a significant phase in Ategwa's career, presenting a collection of paintings that combine fragmented portraits with vibrant depictions of nature and urban life. Inspired by his surroundings and the influence of social media, Ategwa's recent works feature a mix of local textiles, abstract mark-making, and realistic details that create a universal appeal. This exhibition, held at OOA Gallery in Barcelona and at Art Madrid, showcases Ategwa's ability to convey joy and optimism through his art, making "Garden of Delight" a testament to his creative evolution and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
