Mamus Esiebo is a young self-taught artist and a graphic designer from Lagos. He had studied in City Unity College. His work focuses upon the life of simple people, covering such subjects as self-identification in the world controlled by media and politics, the problems of the family life and the overworking. Yet, his paintings show a lot of vital energy: the mix of the bright colours, the distinct ethnic motives and the individual style projects a sense of optimism upon the viewer and the feeling that even the grimmest subjects can be approached with hope.
