Living between Lagos and Kaduna in Nigeria, Bara Sketchbook (b. 1993 in Nigeria) is a synaesthete whose portraits reveal his interests in the relationship between identity and colors. The singularity of his work lies in his Nigerian and Sierra Leonean heritage, which he tries to incorporate each time in his portraits as he explores the inwards and outwards feelings of his subjects. Inspired by his own personal life, memories and stories that marked him, Bara Sketchbook’s vivid paintings lean on thoughts, flaws, beauty and everything in between.
