About Me: Nigerian born, American trained Artist, O. Yemi Tubi residing in United Kingdom is an artist with creative and unique personal style. Most of his recent paintings were influenced political and social upheaval of our world today and the works of the Renaissance artists.

O. Yemi uses his works to speak p about the issues that touch his heart. He uses his painting “African’t” to speak about the exploitations of African nations. The Painting depicts paradoxical poverty and the riches of Africa. “The Fishers of Men” is about the horror of refugees drowning in Mediterranean Sea.
O. Yemi desires his portrait paintings to be uniquely creative and often uses the paintings to tell stories about his subjects as he did with the portrait of Professor Wole Soyinka, 1986 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature in painting “SOYINKA: A Literary Icon” in which he used books and flowing letters to create the portrait. The original painting was sold in 2017 by international recognized gallery – Saatchiart to an art collector in USA.
Life is roses and thorns; sometimes it emanates sweet aroma of pleasantness and sometimes it pricks and causes pains. O.

His paintings, “The Bleeding Roses” and “Domestic Abuse” are two paintings in which the main objects of the paintings are roses and stems woven into human figures
