The Fine Artist

Nimi began his art career with the basics; Watercolors, Pastels, and Charcoals, curiously creating small pieces with each medium and mastering their dynamics. Inspired by Pop Art prodigies like Andy Warhol, Keith Harring, and Banksy, he experimented with Acrylics, Oils, Spraypaints, and Stencils, which he uses to create deeper saturation and special effects in his paintings. 

Over the years his mastery of these mediums has been evident in his paintings like ‘Yeah Yeah’ and ‘Kabiyesi: King Charles III’. He uses uncommon surfaces like wood, recycled aluminum printing sheets, foil, and acrylic glass, to make bold statements and tell intriguing stories to his viewers.

Nimi is famous for his colorful portraitures, which have been the main subject of his expansive 10-year oeuvre. He had always been fascinated with the expression of everyone’s favorite subject, themselves, in various abstracted and vector forms using his infamous stencil painting style of calligraphy-to-image called elginism. 

As a proponent of African development, Nimi uses his pieces to call attention to political, societal, and environmental issues that plague the continent. His artistic depths hold no bounds. Some other mediums of expression in his arsenal are sculptures, Sound installations, music recordings, and films.
