Bold and Vibrant Crypto Art by Osinachi
Nigerian digital artist, Osinachi, broke the internet when he became one of the first Nigerian artists to sell his art as NFTs. Being an early adopter of NFTs helped create awareness about his unique digital art, which he creates using Microsoft Word (we find this amazing and would love to be a fly on the wall during one of his creative sessions).
Still, Osinachi has kept up his steady momentum and even broken into more conventional contemporary art scenes such as Art Basel, 1:54 African Art Fair, and more recently, MoMA. Even so, Osinachi continues to be a valuable creator of crypto art / NFTs.
What we love most though, is how his unique mode of creation gives his digital paintings a rough texture that is unique to Osinachi. His use of bold and vibrant colours is also perfectly in sync with his bold messages which challenge African culture and traditional social issues e.g. some of his subjects clearly live openly and proudly as gay men in the face of traditional norms.
