Why invest in Móyòsóré Martins' art? 
 
Artistic Creation and Influences 
Móyòsóré Martins, a Nigerian contemporary artist based in New York, is taking the art world by storm. As a polymath, he dedicates himself to graphic design, product design, and music. MOYO's paintings are deeply narrative, embodying his personal journey. He merges his traditional Afro-cultural and spiritual roots with a pronounced aesthetic sense for fashion. 
 
Artistic Development and Style 
Born in Brazil, with both parents from Ekiti State, Nigeria, MOYO developed a sense of cultural independence from his family's tribal history and shaped his artistic vision through travel and upbringing. His work reflects the influences of the streets of London and New York, as well as his years of study in Ghana and Ivory Coast, expressing his Yoruba culture. 
 
Artistic Approach and Technique 
MOYO is self-taught and mainly inspired by his inner vision rather than other artists. His works are of a spiritual nature to him, representing his desires, dreams, and path forward. Moyo expresses the emotion of the characters he deftly paints, the backgrounds layered, manipulated, scratched, and then infused with text. He places himself in the canvas, in the artwork, in spirit and name, even his birthdate. He scribbles words, mathematical formulas, mantras, and prayers. He visually expresses his internal conversation, which shifts as his world does as a visual biography. He resists being put in a box. His unique use of materials and story is the cord that ties his work together. As his craft and career expand, he looks back, reflecting on his path and where he has come from, both as a person and artistically. Entrenched with personal symbolism, every element of a painting has a purpose and a specific meaning to him, much like a morse code. The eyes symbolize his own spiritual “all-seeing”; the clusters of floating eyeballs represent a feeling that all eyes are on him, being “seen,” his work being seen. The mouth, large and slightly aggressive, describes the intensity of the experience of people talking about him. The etched words are like a mantra to manifest his vision. 
 
Influence on the Art Market 
The prices of Moyosore Martins' paintings sized 180 x 150 cm have increased from $5,000 to currently $27,500 over the past three and a half years. His works have been collected by over 125 collectors, with approximately 170 paintings sold over the period. He has become somewhat of a cult figure.
