STUDIO VISIT:Perrin Oglafa
Why Art?
Art is my life and a major part of my development. It makes me create and search for depth.
Training
A Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine and Applied Art from the University of Education, Rivers State, with a major in Painting.
Medium
Acrylic, oil, and goache.
Influences
Picasso. I really like so much of his work and style.
Inspirations
I am inspired by
African historical relevance; traditional mode of life and art; and
finding my cultural root identity challenging.
Best work so far
Not yet on canvas. Entire works sold and paid for; works I see no more.
Least satisfying work
Sometimes, I get
meticulous about details on my works. Least satisfying work most times
turns out to be my best work of art because a lot of meaningful time,
passion, and study would go into it. I love to celebrate every work,
but most of all, I love to show my best pieces.
Career high point
So far, I will say
my shows, presentations, and professional experiences in the United
Kingdom; and my works, personal projects and portfolios.
Favourite artist, living or dead
Seal.
Ambition
To be competitive, relevant in the global art scene, getting into contemporary mode of expression with my works.
