Victoria Oniosun

Victoria Oniosun studied Fine Art at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in 2022. She creates her work in an impressionistic style drawing elements from both historical and contemporary painting techniques. She creates works that tell stories about her recurring experiences and observation of various lifestyles. She explores a new way of boldly applying flat, unblended layers of colour with minimal depictions of three-dimensional forms. This current approach creates an illusion of slight depth, rather than the use of perspective and other visual characteristics to indicate depth in space.

Her works showcase the private and social lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between the female gender. In her resolve, she asserts that art is a means of expression and storytelling. She has been influenced by women and the problems they face.

Her “broken colour” technique, developed by impressionists during the 19th century, are short strokes layered to depict light, shade, and contrast. Victoria primarily employs the use of acrylic and oil colours to lay each stroke in order to show value, colour, dimension, form, and light. She uses earth tones in conjunction with a palette of primary and secondary colours. Layers of colour glaze are visible in her finishing to present radiance, depth, and brilliance to the forms, with highlights defined by impasto patches.

Her works have been exhibited in several in-person and virtually presentations. Select shows include; Infectivity Art Exhibition, Nigeria, 2019 and 2021; End of the Year Virtual Exhibition, Kuta, Nigeria, 2020; Art in Medicine Fellowship Art Exhibition (Online Exhibition), 2020; Mambila Art (Online Exhibition), 2021; and End of the World After Party Art Exhibition, WAV Gallery, California, 2021.
