One of his core missions is to promote and build self-confidence, elegance and express the beauty of black skin(nature) through his works. His art is a celebration of black culture and beauty, and he uses it as a platform to communicate the richness and diversity of the African experience.

Today, Osoba Omoayo George is an accomplished visual artist whose work has been exhibited in various galleries across Nigeria.
