Nigerian-born artist based in New York. His works revolve around the 'sacred art of Ori', a form of sacred body painting practiced by the Yoruba people. He adorns the body with white body paint and uses special symbols as well as painting various qualities of deities from Yoruba culture on his muse. The process takes up to eight hours to complete. He refers to skin as 'your melanin is the paint ' and utilizes shadows and negative space to contrast his designs.
What I've learned from reading some of his interviews is to use different mediums and ''you must consistently find different ways to apply it. I learn through trial and error and by watching people''.

Osinbajo heads to Canada for ‘first high-level visit from Nigeria since 2000’
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, departed Nigeria for a three-day official visit to Canada.
Laolu Akande, his spokesman, in a statement on Sunday, described the trip as “the first high-level visit from Nigeria since 2000 when former President Obasanjo visited the North American country”.
Akande said the visit will deepen diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Canada.
The vice-president is expected to meet Chrystia Freeland, Canadian deputy prime minister, and other top parliamentarians and members of the Canadian government in Ottawa, on Monday.
During the visit, issues and events around educational collaboration, technology, the creative industry and climate justice, among others, will also be discussed.
“For instance, the Vice President will give a public lecture at the Queen’s University in Kingston on Wednesday. Established in 1841, Queen’s University is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive academic institutions and is famous for its role in advancing the goals of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development,” the statement reads.
Osinbajo is also expected to give a public lecture at the Queen’s University in Kingston on Wednesday.
Before the lecture, Osinbajo will be received at the Ontario-based Carleton University, “which has significant engagements and collaborations with some educational institutions in Nigeria, with ongoing efforts to deepen the mutual relationships around issues including research and curriculum development”.
Akande said Osinbajo will also meet with the leadership of the Nigerian community, including Nollywood actors and notable Canadian government officials with Nigerian origins.
He will also meet with representatives of the Canadian business community and investors, especially from the creative industry and technology sector.
The vice-president is expected back in Abuja later in the week.
