About the Item
Isaaro (Yoruba for reflection or contemplation) is a deeply symbolic painting that captures the dialogue between presence and introspection. Two figures, rendered in soft yet striking tones of green, coral, and pink, face one another in quiet connection. The use of textured patterns within the figures and the vibrant botanical elements evoke both growth and memory. Its uniqueness lies in the way it merges figurative and abstract elements, encouraging the viewer to step into the silent conversation happening between the forms.
This piece demonstrates a mastery of color harmony, cultural symbolism, and emotional storytelling. As part of a significant body of work exploring the unseen layers of human existence, it stands not only as a visually striking artwork but also as a conceptual investment. Its rarity as an original, signed canvas and the depth of meaning woven into its imagery give it both cultural and collector’s value.
The painting is executed in acrylic on canvas, with bold, flat color planes contrasted against areas of textured brushwork. The condition is excellent, with vivid tones preserved and no marks, scratches, or signs of wear. In person, the subtle textures and interplay of layered colors become far more pronounced than photographs can capture.
Created in 2025, Isaaro belongs to Bukola Orioye’s ongoing series Oju lari… but beneath the surface, which examines inner states of being through layered silhouettes and figurative abstraction. This particular work reflects on contemplation—how thought, memory, and emotion intertwine quietly, yet powerfully, in shaping human connection.

Born in 1993 in Osogbo, Nigeria - a city steeped in spiritual and artistic heritage - Orioye Bukola is a self-taught artist whose creative journey began after completing a degree in Chemistry at the University of Ilorin in 2015. In 2019, he received training under Mr. Tope Fatumbi at Topfat Art Gallery in Ibadan, refining his practice while maintaining a deeply personal, intuitive approach to painting. Orioye’s work is driven by a relentless curiosity and a desire to uncover the hidden links between memory, identity, and cultural heritage. Over the years, his paintings have been shown in exhibitions and collected across Nigeria, Europe, and North America, including Art Shopping Expo at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, L.A. Art Show, From Africa to Detroit at Norwest Gallery, Black History Month at Gato Gordo Gallery in Miami, The Reveal at Akwaaba Gallery in New Jersey, and Fluorescence at Mitochondria Gallery in Houston, among others. His work has also been featured in online auctions supporting social causes through Artsy. In 2024, he was awarded the Voice of Regeneration Prize by Unearthodox, further affirming the resonance of his visual language on the global stage.
