Painting

Anuforo Fortune, a contemporary full-time studio artist from Nigeria, was born in 1984. He studied at Yaba College of Technology acquiring his Ordinary National Diploma in the school year 2012/2013 and his Higher National Diploma (HND) in 2015/2016 in painting and drawing.


His fusion of art on his paintings characterizes the expressions of an exaggeration, stylization, mannerist and cubist forms on the use of various patterns of Ankara designs in promoting the feel of African touch. Fortune is assiduously experimenting in his studio on the use of his forms and lines inspired by the masters’ works of Kees Van Dongen, Pablo Picasso, and Kolade Oshinowo.
