Artist Profile

Paul Amusa
Self-taught Nigerian figurative artist based in Poland
Paul Amusa, professionally known as Senamie, is a self-taught Nigerian figurative artist born and raised in Lagos, now based in Poland. Deeply inspired by his African heritage, music, and daily life, his creative journey began with photography and a master’s degree in Horticulture before finding its true voice in painting. Senamie’s work blends abstract and figurative styles, marked by bold colors, exaggerated facial features, and textured surfaces that explore themes of identity, migration, and emotional resilience. His paintings offer more than visual storytelling—they are immersive reflections on the human condition, particularly shaped by the immigrant experience. Through stylized forms and rich symbolism, Senamie captures not just physical likeness but inner truths, creating a dialogue between past and present.
