More about Eyes on Tomorrow

This evocative portrait captures a powerful moment of reflection, hope, and quiet determination. The subject gazes upward beyond the canvas, as though searching the horizon for possibility, purpose, or freedom. The upward angle of the face creates an immediate sense of aspiration — a visual language of dreaming beyond present circumstances.

Rendered in expressive layers of color and energetic mark-making, the artwork balances realism with abstraction. Soft blues, turquoise, lavender, charcoal, and flashes of burnt orange move across the face like fragments of memory and emotion. The textured brushstrokes and sketch-like lines give the portrait a raw, living energy, while the luminous highlights around the eyes and cheekbones create depth and spiritual intensity.

The deep violet background amplifies the emotional atmosphere, allowing the figure to emerge almost like a vision from light and shadow. Every mark feels instinctive and emotional, revealing both vulnerability and resilience.

Eyes on Tomorrow speaks to ambition, faith, and the enduring human spirit. It is a portrait not only of a person, but of possibility itself — a reminder that hope often begins with simply lifting one’s eyes toward the future.

About the Artist - Solomon Omogboye

About Solomon Omogboye

Solomon Omogboye is a gifted impressionist painter born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1982. He studied art and industrial design at the Lagos State Polytechnic before starting work at the Lagos National Theatre. He won the AADS Best Artist of the Year award in 2007.

Omogboye worked as an art teacher for six years before moving to South Africa in 2014. "I've always been a prolific painter, encouraged by my mother, a teacher," he says. "My paintings reflect my thoughts, inspiration and ideas, using mainly charcoal, pastel, acrylic and oil on canvas.

Omogboye has exhibited his work in Lagos, Johannesburg, Franschhoek and in Théoule-sur-Mer, France. His bold, lively paintings, characterised by energetic, bold strokes and capturing playful expressions of human anatomy, have attracted local and international attention for many years, firmly settling him among Nigeria's leading artists.

"The beauty I see in every existence is my inspiration to paint," he says. "For me, painting is a practice of focusing intentions moment to moment – mirroring what life is really about."

This gifted and humble artist says he finds inspiration wherever he travels – and it's not always the obvious thing that catches his eye. "My paintings reflect what I continue to learn in life: that the only perfection is imperfection and the appreciation of what is."
