Nigerian digital artist Owo is defining the medium with his innovative take on Afrofuturism to create new narratives with his technology-based work. Informed by symbolism and reimagining the significance for African diaspora culture of ancient, pre-colonial sculptures including the Benin Bronzes, Owo employs his formal training in Advertising, Building Technology, and multi-disciplinary art to inform his 3D and motion design-led practice. Inspired by science fiction literature, to Owo, the core concept of Afrofuturism is people dreaming of a better life, “In a society where everybody is equal, where we don’t have the problems in Africa right now of black people living in poverty, and we’re just trying to imagine a difference as poets, as musicians, as artists.” Recognized as an established creative presence within the African NFT community and beyond it, Owo’s narrative-based conceptual work has defined his meteoric rise in the crypto art space.
