Artist Bio

Olumuyiwa Afolabi Olusola (OAO) I am a painter mostly in watercolours’ with lately some mixed media and watercolor. My aim is to bring an ever higher level of abstraction and ambiguity into my work that still references the world about me and of the nature. Through the border between the artist and the audience, I desire to depict the world both in visual and spiritual sense. In my belief, art was what drew me nearer to the world, yet it helped me see from a different eye. I seek to create works that express the genuine me, the world, and its spiritual presence. But I realize that happiness is achieved when my inner self is continually at peace with my fellow mankind and the environment in which I find Myself.
