Debas Adetoro

I believe in creativity, imagination, and self-expression. I straddle between Traditional and Digital Art. I believe art can have something important to say about the human condition. At its best, and in any era, It can take us somewhere we remember or haven’t been before, provoking us into new areas of thought and feeling.
I create paintings that reflect African culture and heritage the people and moments in figurative abstract, using wide powerful brush strokes and expressions with bold colors. I allow imagination and emotion to commingle into memorable creations. My works are a collection of memories, philosophies, and experiences.
I express my artistic opinion. Inspiration and ideas change and I improve in knowledge.

Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension of the past, where I came from, and what I had learned, as well as a preview of the future, and where I am going.
The most important thing about my work is that I believe God has a divine presence in it.
