Silas Abrifor
Silas Abrifor (b1997) is a Nigerian-born painter, visual artist and digital /NFT creator. The gifted multi-media artist is based in Lagos.
The artist is an exciting and imaginative voice in the genres of painting and digital art, but also for his generation. The gifted young artist is prolific in his practice and he uses his art as a medium to depict his understanding of life and world problems. His works seek to awaken the subconscious mind and also to influence minds to think positively and beyond what we are being taught.
He graduated with accolades for his work and ideas from Delta State University with a bachelor’s degree in art and he majored in painting.
When starting out Silas experimented with various mediums in the fine and visual arts, including non-traditional disciplines like graphic art and novels, and comic book drawings. This area of interest honed his drawing skills and enhanced the artist’s personal style across genres.
Gregarious, free-spirited and lively in temperament and style, Silas paints prolifically and also creates and produces some of the most topical work in the NFT space to come out of the African continent. His deeply expressive and signature style as a painter also derives from his love of humanity, studying human interaction, dreaming and colour which lends a strong visual and emotional texture to his work, and one that is also personal.
The artist also enjoys using mixed media forms and bold, graphic patterns in his work which he creates when he combines charcoal, acrylics, pastels, acrylic markers and others materials.
All of these are materials are enhanced and further inspire by what is available in his environment which he uses to further express himself. Silas has participated in few group shows including the universal studio of arts and Delta State university departmental exhibitions.
