"In my paintings, I capture individuality, personality, and essence of my subjects through a nuanced interplay of dramatic and subtle contrasts. My brush strokes, evident at every turn, impart a compelling impression, deftly capturing the distinctive features, expressions, and moods of my subjects. With each piece crafted from the depths of my heart, they acquire unique traits and characteristics, making them stand out in their own right."
Olumide Daniel O. (b. 1992, Nigeria) is a Visual Artist whose figurative paintings evoke the emotive depth and assertive energy inherent in the black experience. As a Nigerian Artist originally from Oyo State, but living and working in Lagos, his work incorporates representations of these localities allowing for an intuitive practice that connects his work to everyday people. By creating large scale compositions with a central figure, his painting evokes a stillness that entrances the viewer; while highlighting the many layers of Blackness.
