Bold (2024) 36" x 41"

Yomi Gbamis is a visual expressionist artist whose work translates inner ideas and everyday observations into bold, colourful worlds. Each piece is created first to spark his own sense of inspiration, with the hope that its energy will quietly resonate with others.

This Kojo Art X interpretation of Bold presents a small, self-assured robin held within a luminous mosaic of colour. Perched on a branching form that cuts diagonally across the canvas, the bird’s vivid red breast glows against a cloud of soft blues and silvers, while the surrounding “stones” shimmer like stained glass fragments. The intricate cells of colour feel like memories or emotions carefully arranged around a quiet centre of courage. In keeping with Yomi’s belief that “art is in everything you see,” the painting transforms a simple garden visitor into a symbol of resilience, joy, and the bravery it takes to stand out brightly in a complicated world.
