Africanna III – Charcoal and acrylics on canvas

My name is Oscar Osumo Ogunyo (OOO) and I am 25 years old. I am a self-taught visual artist based in Nairobi, Kenya.I work primarily in charcoal, watercolors and acrylic paints, though I am always experimenting with new media. I mostly paint/draw portraits, the human figure and cityscapes. I am fascinated with the human body, and as such, I consider it as a medium through which I can communicate various issues and concepts that affect individuals as well as the society. For this reason, I am predominantly a figurative artist. I am particularly interested in the themes surrounding the human condition, mental health and politics. The human figure serves as my voice, echoing my messages through its expressiveness and relatability.. Additionally, I also create custom designs that are printed on T-shirts and other apparel.
