The artist Yomi Momoh studied fine art at the Ahmadu
Bello University Zaria,graduated in 1989 with a
Bachelors of Fine Art. He has ever since,been a full
time proffesional artist.
Yomi Momoh studied sculpture at the University, but
he is known more today as a painter. He has always
painted. He sees the female form as a perfect medium
to express his view that life, and the world as a
matter of fact is beautifull. The female form is
richly endowed with a lot of soft curves,which to
Yomi-Momoh is the strongest factor for expression in
art. PLENTY CURVES for him makes his art what he
thinks it should just be all the time. This is not to
say that lines, even HARD LINES does not express good
beauty, but it's just that curves is what he has
chossen to use to express his impression about beauty,
and the beauty that life is.
Works of Yomi-Momoh ardourn walls of private homes
and public places in Nigeria as well as abroard.
