About Artist Omoyeni Arogunmati is an award-winning visual artist born in Nigeria, She is currently a Blkarthouse Artist Advisory Board Member. Her love for art began at a young age, this encouraged her to study Fine Art at the Polytechnic Of Ibadan, Nigeria. Omoyeni expresses her thoughts and feelings through a series of identical portraits painted in an impressionist style with varied degrees of abstraction. Her passions expose fundamental human feelings, exploits, and events, both exterior and intimate. She concentrates on the representation of human facial gestures through abstraction and simplification, making works that reference both impressionism and abstract art trends. The degree of abstraction changes only slightly from painting to painting, which has been a source of contention because it prevents visual conformity. Short and long brush and palette knife strokes filled with a mass dollop of oil or acrylic paint applied on canvas are featured in her work. This technique gives a layered impression and textured look. She uses only a few shades of color, paints a large area with one bright main color, and then emphasizes it with smaller highlights of other primary colors. Her whole palette is composed of black and raw color blends, with the white of her canvas serving as a contrast to the dark tones. Omoyeni's works follow the trends of Carlos Delgado's "Faces of the System" collection, displaying comparable expressions in various facial moods. They are the emotional expression of her inspiration and experiences. She has established projected work collections, which are represented by several art galleries both at home and abroad and can be found in private collections her work forms part of the permanent collections of the Embassy of Irish office in Abuja, Nigeria, and also a commission work of Betty Holbeton, Founder of Roboflow in Washington DC, USA.
