Hi, I’m Osato (short for Osatohamwen Adeniyi), a 23-year-old first-generation Nigerian-Canadian and I was born on January 3rd, 2002. Though I’m not the biggest fan of the cold, I do love winter for its unique charm. I’m deeply passionate about movies, TV shows, and books—many of my hobbies revolve around these interests. Lately, I’ve been reconnecting with sports like soccer and basketball, finding balance between creativity and staying active.When it comes to my art, I describe my style as a fusion of animated and realistic elements, with a touch of exaggeration that varies depending on my mood or the goal I’m trying to achieve. I tend to play with contrasts, particularly between warm and cool tones, creating vibrant compositions that sometimes feel like a kaleidoscope on the page—colors that jump out and draw the eye in. So far, I’ve participated in four art shows, most notably with the Almedans Collective for Black History Month exhibitions.My closet tends to reflect my artistic taste—mostly filled with blacks, browns, and occasional pops of red and purple. I may not have a favorite color, but I appreciate how colors, like my interests, blend and contrast in unexpected ways.
