The Artist:
Móyòsóré Martins is a visionary artist whose work reflects a fusion of diverse influences, blending elements of Afro-cultural heritage with a contemporary aesthetic sensibility. Born of Brazilian descent with roots in Nigeria, Martins’ upbringing and global travels have shaped his artistic vision, resulting in a body of work that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. His paintings, characterized by profound narrative depth, offer viewers a glimpse into the artist’s transcultural journey and rich cultural tapestry.

Martins’ artistic journey finds expression within the ATTC Art Residency, situated within the Christian Atsu Education Centre in Senya Beraku. This residency, established as part of Christian Atsu’s philanthropic legacy supporting Arms Around The Child, serves as a hub for artistic collaboration and experimentation. By fostering dialogue and exchange among artists from diverse backgrounds, the residency enriches the local community’s cultural landscape while promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
