Description

This contemplative painting by Obayya features blue-toned human figures in quiet interaction, set against a sparse white background that evokes stillness and introspection. The seated figure being examined suggests care, ritual, or everyday intimacy, while scattered objects—a green block, orange pot, and black bird-like forms—add symbolic texture to the scene. The minimalism invites viewers to reflect on migration, memory, and socio-spatial relationships, themes central to Obayya’s practice. His style, shaped by rural–urban transitions and theatrical sensibilities, often transforms ordinary gestures into poetic narratives of place and belonging.
