Hassan Wasiu Sunday is a visual artist from Nigeria. He focuses on using his techniques in documenting various expressions using realistic figural images as his reference. This technique entails using acrylic and charcoal on canvas, along with neutral and complementary colours.

“Art gives me great relevance, as I in turn, give value to life through documenting and exploring different expressions from the African environment”, he says. Art also provides for Hassan, value for his cultural heritage, information on what is happening around him and serves as a way to overcome soci0-cultural challenges in the environment. Through art, he has been able to create aesthetic value while telling important stories of strength and resilience.
