We didn’t know who Oresegun Olumide until about 15 hours ago when a painting by him made rounds on the internet. And honestly, we still do not know a lot.

What we do know, we learnt from his Facebook bio which describes him a professional artiste, who resides in Lagos, and graduated from Yaba College of Technology.

It’s not a lot, but judging from his works as displayed on FB, it is obvious that Oresegun Olumide deserves way more recognition than he’s currently getting.
