Nigerian wonder artist's work draws international attention 

Rozenia Johnson ur absokutly right! Davinci wasn the best... that man is as good as him!

Rozenia Johnson before people start with this nonsense comparetion of African arts with the so called great European artists they need to show me great artists from Europe today. From around the globe Africans keep showing that we are the masters of art and everything else.

Phenix Jeanty no one has actually mentioned color but you. I can feel and touch his expressions. It's unique and in its class bro. This guy isn't a small fry. He deserves some accolades...

I think his works are even better than DaVinci's.

Why are we not best in science?

Yes this really personal work very good woow

I hope this is not a part nigerian scams.. Has any one seen the boy actually painting himself ?

how do you know about other Planet's painting?? what they really look like?

Super Story4u This guys(guy) isn't from another planet, for this guy lives with us. He's a talented artist and enjoys using his talent and Make us wander. You too are talented and are using everyday properly or improperly for talent a God's gift. You might be a good cook, mathematician, humorist, comedian, bicyclist, etc.

Frenemy, I see you're everywhere. You seriously need to calm down. Your argument has no base.

Emma Alfouns yes man our need electricity and infrastructure to shine

This! If schools were more widely available and disbanding of gangs with a stimulus in infrastructure could really help the nation grow.

Emma Alfouns African Leaders not the problem. African people Christian beliefs self-hatred and Colonial Mentality are the problem. Your leaders are a reflection of you.

Emma Alfouns , please can you tell me the number of African countries currently in war?

Emma Alfouns indeed..

Sowore for president!!!

Truth, none of da Vinci's art can come close to these

I think it's an honour to be compared to Da Vinci, no? Da Vinci - as well as being a great artist - conceptualised and designed flying machines, concentrated solar power, was an expert and genius on sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, and cartography. Basically Da Vinci was one of - if not the smartest - person to ever live, so yeh, comparing Olumide to Leonardo Da Vinci is a pretty great thing. And to the commentators saying Da Vinci's artworks don't come close etc... It's such a dumb comment, as who decides who's best? Unless you're God then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Olumide's painting's are dope. Exceptional technique and ability, but what does the paintings tell a story of, what do they make you feel? Aside from 'they look just like a photograph' nah mean? To me Olumide's paintings look more life like, obviously, but Da Vinci's - especially virgin of the rocks - speaks more and shows a deeper quality than the Nigerian artist is producing as of yet. It's just an opinion tho.

@@namienamie2167 My cat is better than your cat. My partner is more beautiful than yours. My car is better than your car etc etc etc... Don't you see beauty is in the eye of the beholder? I can't prove any of those statements any more than you can prove which artist is better. It's all opinion. But in truth, you don't really think he is better than Da Vinci do you? Because if you really did, you'd sell everything you had, and you convince your family and friends to do the same, and you'd buy one of his paintings, and sell it in ten years and you'd be millionaires. He is an amazing painter. But his ultra-realism, photographic style, is one style. He can do something Da Vinci couldn't do, and I'm sure Da Vinci could do things he can't. What I will do is report your comment and you for racism tho.

Da Vinci's name will be remembered another thousand years from now at least. Not just for paintings, but for inventions, studies, frescoes, treatises. The kid is very good at painting, but I doubt he will be remembered as the father from an artistic movement in 100 years.

Extreme guy

not even that, a lot of people copy photos better.

ArtinArt wow, jealousy is not a good look on you dear 😂😂😂

House of Zuma why compare him with white people as if they are better than Africans smh

Humble? Thinking he can surpass Da Vinci? Good lord you're stupid.

ArtinArt .I didn't mention any ones name but any way thanks for the insult.yah bless you.

This guy is the world's best!!!

No brother he's competing with three dimension lol

those children were nude, you idiot.

This is the only talent I see from Nigerian. Nigerian are usually brilliant with business. If you do research or travel more in Africa there are some people with extraordinary talents.The problem is with African gorvenments, they don't support their own people like the Europeans and American, that's why there's no progress for the world to know that Africa have all it takes to be great.

TK JOHN America and Europe do not support or invest in their citizens the way they should either. There are scholarships, education like in other countries but since Startups have taken off many different sectors have noticed. Have you heard of .Com era ...most went bankrupt and only few survived. Crowdfunding and shows like Shark Tank is big now. In USA we also let buildings remain abandoned and wait for a buyer instead of renovating it and selling it! They would make two times the price and the bank would get their share....But......

Z tab In some way your right but they're​ some people who have a good Eye for talents and gifts in people and would not waste the opportunity to invest in them. Like this Artist, he just need to be recognised, with God's help he will make big time. I also feel like now he is ready for the world.

Buuraha calmadow I think so

?? come on! you know there are many. Maybe you doubt Somalia but there are other countries. Unless you visited all of them and then you made a decision! but that's how we see our country too! The most talented! so, it depends on what you are looking for.

new world shortly post your husband's works on RU-vid

WallStreet Review You don't know art.
