Many times, we tend not to leave a place where we have so much comfort, it could be by friendship, luxury, relationships, and more… It would also appear that the wealthy want to remain in their status and even want to be more to have a beautiful and stress-free lifestyle
No one wants to be in an unwanted situation hence they choose to remain where it
pays.
About Artist
Born on April 12, 1988, in the vibrant cultural Nigeria, Bello Gabriel has emerged as a devoted full-time painter and artist, carving his unique niche in the world of visual art. His educational journey led him to the illustrious Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), where he delved deep into the realm of Fine Arts, honing his creative talents. Bello Gabriel's artistry is characterized by the enchanting strokes of impressionism and the captivating allure of figurative expression. He wields the painter's brush as a storyteller, painting vivid narratives of daily life in society. Through his art, he captures the struggles, aspirations, endeavors, and resilience of individuals facing life's myriad challenges.
For Bello, impressionism is not merely a style but a profound means of self-expression and skill enhancement. The interplay of blue and orange strokes in his creations adds a unique dimension to his oeuvre, distinguishing him as an artist with a signature touch. While he occasionally explores the realms of realism, impressionism remains his preferred avenue for artistic exploration. The act of painting is more than a profession for Bello; it is a source of unbridled joy and inspiration. He derives immense pleasure from wielding the artist's brush, using his creations to articulate the tapestry of life's experiences. With each stroke, he breathes life into his subjects and imbues his art with a resonant voice. Bello Gabriel's artistic influence knows no boundaries, as his works have transcended borders and found homes in collections around the world. Notably, his art has made its mark in the United States, a testament to the universal appeal of his creative vision.
Over the years, Bello Gabriel has participated in several exhibitions some of which are, exhibitions on TV's “Wake up Nigeria” show in 2018. Also in May/June 2023, Faces and Stories; “An intimate portrait collection”. NewYork, USA. Then in March/April 2023: “Freedom Non-Negotiable II”. Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Also, “Familiar Relationships”. NewYork, USA. Dec. 2022/Jan. 2023.
He has just concluded a solo exhibition show in California, USA. Titled; “Full Circle” Nov.2023/ April 2024.
As an impressionist, storyteller, and custodian of life's narratives, Bello Gabriel continues to craft a compelling artistic odyssey that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of human existence, one brushstroke at a time.

My name is Bello Gabriel, I'm an impressionist and a figurative artist. My art started when I was very little. I love playing with colors and drawing comics. Little did I know then that I was going to be an artist because I was not focused on that area, I just see art as a talent and not a profession. But in a long run after high school, I studied art at one of the prestigious institutions in Lagos, Nigeria. Yaba College of Technology, Yabatech. And now I’m a full-time studio artist. I love painting in blue and orange renditions because blue is a natural color that accords freedom confidence, intuition, and faith. And orange, associated with optimism and energy. So I combined these two colors together to produce meaningful and exceptional works of art. My paintings talk about the daily life of people in society, the struggles, attempts, and efforts towards human survival, and many more. My painting is a consistent search for the best way to interpret the common ideas I have about people in the society we found ourselves in and the world we all live in. My works are not limited to one particular background. Inspiration and ideas change. Each piece I create is simultaneously a stretch from my discovery and observation of my society and the world at large. I do not want my art to speak for me alone, but for people who are being deprived of their rights and value, who were long ago silenced. If an onlooker stops for just a moment to view and ruminate on a piece I have created, then I have done well in my work.
