Within Out Of Reach (2024) Malerei von Omonu Salisu

Omonu Salisu is a Nigerian visual artist born in 1991, in Idah, Kogi State. His work is an abstract representation of life, deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of African culture and historical events, human figures, expressions and connexion, and the rich symbolism of colors as cultural emblems. The wisdom of proverbs, the stories of our ancestors, and the resilience embedded in everyday life have become the foundation of his creative voice. He also likes to address socio-economic and political issues, inviting viewers to engage in thoughtful dialogue and reflection. 

The impact He seeks to create is rooted in his core values of cultural preservation, empathy, and freedom of expression. Through his art, he aims to celebrate African heritage, inspire pride in identity, and spark conversations about socio economic and political issues. He wants his work to educate, foster unity, and empower individuals to confront challenges with hope and resilience. 

In terms of style, he is intrigued by the possibilities of integrating mixed media and digital art into his practice, merging traditional techniques with contemporary forms of expression. He is also interested in experimenting with installation art and sculptures, creating immersive experiences that allow viewers to engage with his work on a multi-dimensional level. This evolution reflects his desire to continuously push boundaries, challenge perceptions, and connect with a broader audience through diverse artistic language.
