The mind of an artist - Yelloseesee

Yelloseesee (one word pronounced as the regular yellow sisi) is a fair reddish-brown skin colored, with dirty-gold colored hair African artist, whose works is basically inspired by light (because I shade a lot in my works) and sees where the human eyes cannot birth sight (because I do abstract arts mainly; hence the double "see") Yelloseesee was born Jidechukwu Uwaoma Jude. 













The art gene which runs from his father through him started exhibiting itself when he could barely handle a pencil, this would later make him draw everything he sees in his "Alvin & the chipmunks" comic book into his exercise book.

Going to school, Yelloseesee just had fine art as one of his twelve regular subjects throughout junior secondary school in Word of Faith college Benin City, Edo state and that was it (my people na there e end). He graduated from Benson Idahosa University, Benin city, Edo state with a BSc in Computer science in 2007 and worked in an IT firm in Lagos for nearly two years. After parting ways with the IT firm, he personally provided IT solutions for barely four months and finally "called the curtains" on the IT world and started his studio with nothing but his black biro & resume papers neatly packed in a corner, right in his room in the family house  and ever since he has not looked back.

 Asked how he coped with challenges of starting his studio with practically nothing and how he deals with everyday challenges as a young unique abstract artist in a part of the world that has not really woken up to value works of art, he simply smiles and scratches his dirty-gold colored hair and quotes his favorite saying "everyday I wake up I murder fear and resurrect faith" while giving thanks to my heavenly father for making me see another day.

Your favorite artist,
Yelloseesee Uwaoma

  6. Your description of this artist is apt! His response to challenges he faces as a unique abstract art genius, in this part of the world where the value of art is not fully acknowledged, is pure determination! His strong will is inspiring!

    You know why Yelloseesee's art will find a way into every home? Because of his originality and evolving genuity.

    I particularly love "Big hands and bigger heart" & "Colours of laughter".
