About Artisan: Nebolisa Kelly (1998) is a Nigerian artist, born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. Working in a genre of art known as hyper realism.A graduate of Chemical Engineering from the University of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka,Anambra State.

From as early as he could remember, Nebolisa Kelly began drawing at a very young age,he started off by drawing his favorite cartoon characters and eventually matured to a full time artist exploring the use of charcoal,oil/acrylic paint

Nebolisa’s work may be viewed on three different planes in terms of both physical space and content. At a distance the work appears to have an almost palpable photographic realism.The subject appears almost to emerge from the painting and takes on form and matter; at a closer ranger the surface is striking. The subject flattens out and the observer becomes very small and is able to enter the epidermis of the skin
The smoothness and at the same time roughness of the skin texture is represented with such realism and such objectivity that it no longer depends on the acuity of the eye, but on a maniacal quest to go beyond reality itself.
It is this quest for perfection that makes the viewer reach the third level of vision. No longer the visual one, but the conceptual one.

From the willingness to see and represent things as they are, Nebolisa kelly strives to visualize the increasingly frantic search for the most minutes and imperceptible detail. To achieve perfection and to succeed in breaking out of the anonymity in which the artist feels caged
The hyper realistic artist sets to arouse relatable feelings and always passing a societal judgment on what should be. He’s always keen to deliver a message through his art
He works mostly with reference images and through his imaginations

Nebolisa Kelly is currently based in Lagos State, Nigeria and has participated in national and international group exhibitions; Talented Individual Art festival, Portharcout Nigeria (2020), Mimesis; ‘Undiscovered Exhibition I’ Abuja Nigeria ,Nigerian hyper realism Exhibition, Via San Tommaso, Italy.

Mission Statement: I'm inspired by young people, the beauty, the challenges, the struggles, the ups and lows that comes as a result of being part of this present generation. Their overall life, ranging from their mental health, to family, to growing up, down to their entire life time decisions
I always want to arouse relatable feelings to my viewers and spark emotional conversations that gives some sort of nostalgic feeling from the past, reality of now and insight of the future. Intentional about passing a societal judgment on what should be that isn't.

This has always fueled my passion and desire to create.
