Nigerian-born photographer and painter Osaretin Ugiagbe draws inspiration for his work from his life, often using it to reflect on his experiences in Lagos, the Bronx, and London. He has traveled around the world with his camera and his brush in pursuit of studying people in order to master his craft. He first developed his interest in art through a painting class he took at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. After that class, art became a part of him. He later got accepted to the top art school in the world, The Royal College of Art in London. Osaretin’s work has been on the cover of books like Stillborn by Diekoye Oyeyinka, as well as publications like the New York Times, The Financial Times in London, The Daily News, Columbia Journal Review, Okay Africa, Fox 5, CBS, Exit-Express, and more.  Osaretin is also recognized as one of the top photographers in the world. When he is not painting you can find him walking through the city streets and capturing life as it is happening. His work is truly art imitating life.
