About the Exhibition
Creativity often shines in the spotlight, celebrated for its bold expressions and vibrant displays. Yet, behind every masterpiece lies a quieter force: the silent, unseen strength that fuels artistic innovation. Soul Search Art’s “All Might” exhibition brings this hidden power to the forefront, inviting visitors to explore the subtle, often overlooked aspects of creativity that work behind the curtain. “All Might” challenges the traditional view of strength as loud and visible. Instead, it highlights the quiet resilience and persistence that artists embody. This exhibition showcases works that speak to the unspoken and unseen forces shaping creativity moments of doubt, perseverance, and introspection that rarely make it into the spotlight.
The exhibition explores several themes related to silent strength:
Artists often face setbacks and self-doubt. “All Might” honors the determination required to continue creating despite these challenges.
Persistence
Artists often face setbacks and self-doubt. “All Might” honors the determination required to continue creating despite these challenges.
Intuition
Artists often face setbacks and self-doubt. “All Might” honors the determination required to continue creating despite these challenges.
Reflection
These themes remind visitors that creativity is not only about visible talent but also about the internal, often invisible, forces that sustain it.
In a world that often values loud achievements and instant results, “All Might” offers a refreshing perspective. It reminds us that true strength can be quiet and that creativity thrives on patience, reflection, and unseen effort. This exhibition encourages artists and art lovers alike to appreciate the full spectrum of creative power.
By recognizing these silent strengths, we can better support artists and understand the complexity of the creative journey. “All Might” is a call to look beyond the surface and honor the hidden forces that make art possible.

Jerè Alexandra is a self-taught abstract artist based in Phoenix by way of Boston, whose work moves at the intersection of emotion, memory, and identity. With raw brushwork and layered texture, her art isn’t about perfection, it’s about confession. Her practice takes a step back from what is seen to focuses on what is felt. Each piece is a visual journal entry, honest, unfiltered, and grounded in healing. Through her work, Jerè invites us to create with the same emotional freedom.

Fidelis Ayuwa Amed Izekor JR (b.2001 in Ologbo, Nigeria; lives and works in New York, NY) is a multimedia artist best recognized for his oil paintings and drawings, which explore the profoundness of identity through portraiture to further examine different ways of visual storytelling. Interested in civics and afro-futuristic fashion aesthetics, Fidelis Izekor merges the techniques of old western oil painting/drawing with ancient and contemporary African artmaking to cultivate a new form of image creation. This way of developing imagery derives from looking closely at how oil paint is built up to mimic realistic imagery while paying attention to the abstract nature of marks and shapes through the understanding of West African forms of abstraction, especially in textiles. By blending the homogeneity of patterning with high-level details of realism, Fidelis Izekor creates compositions that question and re-interpret what a portrait could look like. His work references pop culture and art history, as well as his own life - being born in Nigeria and moving as a child to the South Bronx, where he was raised. His experience in both places is a recurrent theme in his work and, for Fidelis, the construction of his figures is a means of representing a person's individuality and personal nature in an honest and raw way, even when those ways are rooted in fantasy and imagination. Though the representation of the self has been a prime focus for his practice, he has also explored depictions of landscape, poetry, nature and architecture.
