Artist Profile

Portus Ojomo is a Fine Artist.

Ojomo Portus was born in 1952 in Nigeria. He is a painter and sculptor of monumental arts. He studied at the Royal academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium and at the Institutor Allende - Mexico.

His training was based on the values of Western (mainly European) history and traditional in art.

A contemporary artist in the Diaspora, he has evolved and intermingled with the African art traditional as well as with the dominant western culture in the arts.

The vibrant expression and strong contrasting colours give Ojomo's paintings their special appeal.

He has already had several exhibitions at home and abroad.

He works with materials such as bronze bas relief for the official inauguration of the sixty years existence of “ CV Onze Woning” in Antwerp, Belgium in 1989.

Bronze bas relief for Joss Verhelst Square in Antwerp, Belgium in 1998 as well as several private entities, paintings, glass and lead-sources work.

Last year he was commissioned to execute a 45M2 wall relief depicting the history of the Post at the Antwerp X Post Sorting Center, Belgium in 2009.

Portus work has been selected to represent Nigeria for the 2010 FIFA International arts in South Africa.

'Art is a creation and to create is to desire'. He quotes

'The desire to have inner peace is obviously my greatest motivations. Inner peace synthesized and simplified in essential colour play; The materialization of life inevitable theme and notion on canvas'.

The artist lives and works in Belgium.
