Joshua Salami is an artist whose passion for creativity in painting has no limit and he is a
Nigerian-based contemporary artist. He is a product of The Polytechnic Of Ibadan, where he
studied Art Design and Printing Technology holds a diploma in fine art, and has participated in art
workshops and art exhibitions. His work is deeply inspired and shaped by his experiences and the
people around him, together with people’s lifestyles in the world at large. His work also depicts
experiences that inform his view of the world and humanity’s self-discovery with life and its
environment.

He also seeks to convey the mood of human life and expression with images that portray human
experience through blackness. His pictorial language developed within his work deals with human
identity as it portrays themes woven around memories, lifestyle, and thoughts from everyday
experiences. Joshua hopes that his works establish trust with the viewer, allowing sincere
conversation to commence and inspire them to discover something about themselves while
experiencing a new perspective. He also uses the richness his materials provide to give his work a
strong physical presence that enhances the uniqueness of his style and creates a more appealing
look, combined with the aesthetic value and beauty of the paint on canvas in contemporary art.
