Meet the Artist – Yomi Awobusuyi
Who Is Yomi Awobusuyi?
Yomi is not just an artist; he’s a storyteller. Born with a keen eye for narrative and nuance, his journey into the world of art began at an early age, sparked by a fascination with form, color, and identity. Yomi’s works are deeply influenced by African heritage, urban textures, and the quiet chaos of introspection. Each canvas is a window into personal experience and communal memory.
When we talk about art that speaks—boldly, emotively, and without apology—Yomi Awobusuyi’s work rises to the top of that conversation. A Nigerian visual artist whose palette moves between vibrance and quiet depth, Yomi’s creative voice is as distinct as it is mesmerizing.
What He Says About His Work
Yomi once described his creative process as “a silent conversation between history and possibility.” That’s a sentiment reflected in the soulfulness of his portraits, the dynamic lines of his forms, and the echoes of ancestral identity that reverberate through his compositions.
Exhibitions & Impact
From local galleries in Lagos to virtual showcases around the globe, Yomi has steadily earned recognition for his ability to bridge worlds—both literal and symbolic. His work has been featured in exhibitions that center around African futurism, cultural hybridity, and contemporary identity.
He’s not just creating art; he’s curating experiences.
Style and Mediums
Yomi explores a range of mediums—from acrylic and mixed media to digital compositions. His style fuses abstraction with figurative elements, often layering symbolic motifs that reflect themes of migration, belonging, and cultural resonance.
His art is an invitation to pause and feel—to trace the invisible stories behind each stroke, each texture, each hauntingly beautiful gaze.
