Celebrating Solitude by Ojo Ayotunde

Nigerian artist, Ojo Ayotunde, uses his paintings to bring introspection and the subconscious to the fore. His creations are usually self-portraits featuring people in solitude, enjoying their space alone, and often contemplative or brooding. They’re usually doing nothing really - mostly recovering from their day, recharging, potentially thinking about life. We’ve all been there.

Ojo quietly describes this way of being using his subtle, muted palettes of browns and creams. See some of the African painter’s works below.
