Iretomide is a visual artist formally trained as an industrial designer who 

currently practices art through two distinct styles.

 

Iretomide's oil practice centers on the exploration of the human condition and how it reveals itself in our daily lives through experiences of joy, love, religion, conflict, and death. He uses familiar visual tropes as tools to reframe and question emotional and existential realities through a lens of underlying melancholy. Iretomide aims to challenge surface-level interpretations and encourage a deeper emotional engagement. His oil paintings do not offer answers but rather open a space for viewers to confront their own internal landscapes via stillness, ambiguity, and quiet emotion of portrayed figures.

 

His acrylic practice on the other hand employs a more childlike approach to painting that is hinged upon a quasi-digitized view of the world as result of the overwhelming presence of technology in his formative years and daily life. Working in layers as one would on illustrator and/or photoshop, Iretomide simplifies figures into geometric shapes in an effort to use said shapes and bright colors in combination with hand poured faces to portray the internal disposition of his chosen subjects. 

 

In one more digestible sentence:

 

His work is an ongoing experiment in self expression as a means of interpreting the greater world around him.
