His art depicts situations of social life, emotions, and feelings. He has participated in numerous pieces of training, and workshops in drawing, painting, and illustration. He has participated in art exhibitions primarily in Nigeria, west Africa, and many countries. “Creating is an amazing process. Most of the time I enjoy trying new things. I like the brush strokes of the impressionists, the flow of their movements, foundry colours, expressions, and different grayscales as well as their engagement in my paintings. This gave birth to my style. I see life as a passion for sticking to what we like and the endless battles of everything else that we abhor. Art is one of the open ways of talking to people in a visual way of imagination. The Expressions, emotions, feelings, and all the untold stories behind these make people feel connected.” Adegboro Blessing is a Nigerian modern contemporary artist whose work specialises in figurative and human expressions and their environment. Every process of his works is inspired by the lifestyles of the female gender's emotions, expressions, acts, and characters. Females are the symbol of life, the maker of unconditional love. A woman is both soft and powerful. Every ring behind his artwork also known as nimbus is a representation of the spiritual character that was inspired by the image of Jesus Christ which symbolized light.
