Nigerian artist Omonu Salisu is known for his energy and originality in his work. He has become synonymous with abstract art by contributing a creative power that cuts through paintings depicting colourful figures whose heads take on a variety of forms. In 2017, he started experimenting with lines, shapes, figures, and colours to produce paintings that speak about socio-economic and political issues in Africa. He also employs colours to symbolise cultural emblems in his work. His more recent works are based on recreating human heads and figures, and they are translated with lines and motifs that represent famous proverbs and maxims, record historical events, express particular attitudes or behaviours related to depicted figures, or concepts uniquely related to abstract shapes. His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. In the world of art, there exists a select few whose work transcends the canvas to become a vivid narrative of human emotions and experiences. I am one such artist, whose unique vision and creative prowess have established him as a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene. Born with an innate passion for self-expression, my journey as an artist has been a testament to my unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of artistic excellence. My work is a mesmerizing tapestry of colors, shapes, and emotions, a testament to the boundless nature of the human spirit. My art is an invitation to see the world in a different light, to feel it through a different prism, and to understand it through a different palette. My work is an ever-evolving narrative.. Statement everything is anything and anything is everything.
