The Nigerian-American Self-Taught Visionary Fusing Surrealism with Social Commentary
Abi Salami at the Ubud AIR residency in Bali, Indonesia (March, 2023)
Abi Salami is a self-taught artist who creates large-scale surrealist works that explore her experiences as a Nigerian immigrant and Black woman in the United States. Through the use of a personal visual lexicon made up of symbols, she explores topics such as sexuality, mental health and race.
She earned a Masters in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin and worked in Corporate America for almost a decade before committing to painting full-time.
“I start off each painting by standing in front of the canvas... nervous, humble, vulnerable... and I ask myself “What would you do if you weren’t afraid”. Then I paint.”
