Oshorenoya David Francis is a contemporary Nigerian artist specializing in painting and photography. Possessing a free mind, he expresses himself without restriction, firmly believing in the expressive art movement.
Passionate about human emotions and existence, Oshorenoya finds inspiration in events and elements around his environment and the world at large, which he visually expresses in his creations.
As an expressionist, Oshorenoya skillfully conveys significant messages using various materials such as charcoal, pieces of fabric, pastels, and vibrant color pigments. He simplifies forms to depict figurative images that discuss topics concerning himself and society, engaging in serial paintings that examine themes related to social, emotional, or mental well-being, as well as happiness and the general lifestyle of humanity.
Another focus of his work is on the conceptual beauty and simplicity of the world in connection with the human race, aiming to depict freedom to live a peaceful life devoid of social vices and dictatorship. He questions why mankind continues to experience suffering when the visual appearance of the world has been made simple and beautiful for humanity.
Having participated in various art exhibitions locally and internationally, Oshorenoya is currently enrolled in a Contemporary Art Practice MA program in the United Kingdom (UK) to further pursue his dream of attaining artistic excellence.
