A young Nigerian artist recently impressed music superstar, Ayodeji ”Wizkid” Balogun with a portrait of him which he painted.
The talented fine artiste known as Amos Osemwengie, shared photos and a video of his impressive painting of Wizkid and it got the singer’s attention.
Amos, in an Instagram post, explained that he had developed a love for integrating different art forms and saw no reason for there to be boundaries between the industries.
He wrote: “We can think about this piece as my first attempt at infusing both art forms. By creating a traditional visual art of one of Africa’s leading music star Wizkid(Big Wiz). Documenting what i believe to be his most solid project yet “Made In Lagos”.”
Explaining further, Amos said he infused all the elements he found exciting on Wizkid’s Made in Lagos album as well as the visuals he felt described the singer’s artistry.
Wizkid who has been known to keep a relatively low profile on social media eventually got wind of the painting and made sure to show love to Amos on his Instagram page.
The Grammy winner first shared four posts on Insta-story to celebrate Amos’ talent.
Going further, Wizkid also took to the comment section of Amos’ post to show his interest in the painting.
He wrote: “Want this! Love! ❤️”
