Blue Omari
I'm a painter and storyteller based in Southern California. I've been painting for ten years and what started as a way to release feelings of homesickness, loneliness and sadness turned into a life's work. My paintings are time capsules of a woman living her life fully, captured in color, shape, portrait, and tears. Faith and feeling are at the root of everything I make.
“I’ve always felt a sense of responsibility to represent what it means to be Congolese by staying true to myself and never forgetting where I come from.”
