Simon Obeka Art

Nigerian, b. 1996
Obeka Simon Edoh is a full-time studio painter based in Abuja, Nigeria. He is a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria where he studied Fine Art and majored in painting. He was among the top 25 artists in the ‘’Life in My City Art Festival’’ competition in 2019 in Nigeria and also among the 10 finalists in the ‘’Next Of Kin Annual Juried Art Exhibition And Competition’’ in 2022 organized by Thought Pyramid Art Center, Lagos and also participated in a group exhibition titled ‘’No Pain No Gain’’ organized by Vivid Exclusive Art Gallery in 2022. My fascination and obsession with the human figure can not be overly emphasized. Sometimes, I find myself spending countless hours looking at the human face. In my paintings, I hope to communicate with my viewer's life experiences and stories attached to every face I paint and each face tells a different and unique story These life experiences and stories are sometimes beautiful, joyful, sad, provoking, and educating.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) "Escape," a captivating artwork by the talented artist Simon Obeka, invites viewers into a world of contemplation and freedom. The centerpiece of the piece is a woman, elegantly turning sideways, her silhouette mirroring the graceful flight of birds in the background. Obeka's masterful use of color and texture creates a dreamlike atmosphere, where the woman seems to transcend the confines of the canvas. The subdued palette captures the serenity of the moment, while hints of vibrant hues symbolize the untamed spirit of the birds taking flight. The title, "Escape," hints at a narrative of liberation and release. The woman's gesture suggests a turning point, a deliberate decision to break free from the constraints of the mundane and soar into the limitless expanse of the unknown. The juxtaposition of the woman and the birds serves as a powerful metaphor for the human desire for independence, symbolizing the pursuit of one's dreams and the courage to embrace change. Obeka's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the woman's form and the meticulous depiction of the birds in flight. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and balance, reinforcing the theme of transcendence. "Escape" not only captivates the eye but also resonates on a deeper emotional level, inviting viewers to reflect on their aspirations and the universal quest for freedom. Simon Obeka's artwork serves as a visual poem, inspiring contemplation and celebrating the timeless desire to break free and soar beyond the boundaries of the ordinary. About Artist Obeka Simon...

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) "I'm Alright, Just Here" is a captivating artwork that captures the viewer's attention with its tender depiction of a young girl. The artist skillfully brings the subject to life, with delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. The girl's features are portrayed with remarkable precision, revealing a sense of innocence and vulnerability that tugs at the heartstrings. The expression on the girl's face speaks volumes—a delicate blend of calmness and introspection. Her eyes, a window to her soul, radiate a sense of quiet strength and resilience, hinting at a pearl of wisdom beyond her years. Simon's choice to depict the girl alone, with no external distractions, creates a sense of intimacy and invites viewers to connect with her inner world. "I'm Alright, Just Here" explores the themes of solitude, self-reflection, and the resilience of youth. The title itself offers insight into the subject's state of mind—an assurance that she is content and at peace in her presence. It serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of finding solace within oneself, even amidst the chaos and noise of the world. The young girl's presence in the artwork represents the universal experience of navigating the complexities of life. Her portrayal invites viewers to reflect on their journey, prompting questions about the inner strength we possess and the moments of introspection we all seek. She becomes a mirror, reminding us to find moments of stillness and self-care, where we can gather strength and nurture our well-being. The muted color palette employed by Simon contributes to the contemplative mood of the artwork. Soft, earthy tones evoke a sense of serenity and harmony, further enhancing the atmosphere of quiet introspection. The artist's careful attention to the interplay of light and shadow adds depth to the girl's expression, underscoring the layers of emotion and resilience that lie beneath the surface.

Face Your Fears 2, Expressionist Oil Painting on Canvas, 21st Century

By Simon Obeka

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

"Face Your Fears" by Simon Obeka is a thought-provoking artwork that captures the essence of courage and self-discovery. At its core, the painting features a young woman adorned in a striking red scarf, her expression poised and determined, as if ready to confront the challenges that lie ahead. The title, "Face Your Fears," serves as a powerful invitation for viewers to confront their fears and embrace the journey of personal growth and empowerment. Through the symbolism of the red scarf, which can evoke feelings of passion, determination, and vitality, Obeka conveys the idea that facing one's fears is not only a daunting task but also an opportunity for transformation and renewal. The woman's confident posture and unwavering gaze suggest a willingness to confront adversity head-on, embodying the resilience and inner strength required to overcome obstacles. Whether literal or metaphorical, her journey serves as an inspiration for viewers to confront their fears and pursue their aspirations with courage and conviction. Obeka's artwork serves as a reminder that while fear may be a natural part of the human experience, it is through facing and overcoming our fears that we can unlock our true potential and live life to the fullest. "Face Your Fears" encourages viewers to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth and to embark on their own journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.

Still in Silence

By Simon Obeka

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

Still in Silence is an original painting by Obeka Simon. Simon created Still in Silence with Oil on a 30W by 36H inches primed canvas. "Still in Silence" is a captivating art piece that draws the viewer into a shimmering moment of peaceful serenity. Created with masterful skill, this work evokes a sense of calmness, tranquility, and graceful elegance. As the observer gaze at the artwork, the first thing that strikes them is the remarkable use of color. The painting is an infusion of soft, muted tones of blue and purple, with hints of white that merge and blend together flawlessly. The predominant color is a soothing shade of light blue, which fills the canvas with a luminous glow, lifting and lightening the soul. The artist has also used texture to accentuate the canvas, with gentle brush strokes that overlap to create an exquisite visual composition. The texture is not overpowering but rather subtle yet impactful, giving the impression of a calm and gentle breeze moving through the painting, it is almost as if the entire painting has frozen in time, capturing a moment of exquisite tranquility that invites awe and wonder. The beauty of "Still in Silence" lies in its ability to transport viewers into a peaceful and serene world that exists somewhere beyond time and space. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility and calmness, and it feels as though we are witnessing nature in her most delicate and serene moments. In conclusion, "Still in Silence" is a stunning work of art that captures an extraordinary moment of peace and harmony.
