We recently had the chance to connect with Raymond Omotolani Wright and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Raymond Omotolani , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
It would look like diving into learning scanning new art, music, and creative ideas then reflecting, writing, and helping people create meaningful messages and stories.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello everyone, my name is [Raymond Omotolani], a visual artist whose work explores the deep connection between music, emotions, and the human spirit. Through my art, I strive to translate melodies and feelings into colors, movements, and forms that speak beyond words.
My brand is built around the idea that art is a language of the soul each piece tells a story, often inspired by sound, rhythm, and emotion. What makes my work unique is how I merge musical energy with visual storytelling, creating paintings that almost feel like they’re singing to you.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to share my work with amazing collectors and supporters who connect with my art not just visually, but emotionally. Right now, I’m working on a new series that continues to explore how sound, spirit, and color interact a journey that invites viewers to feel the music through their eyes.
Art, for me, is not just about painting; it’s about creating an emotional experience that stays with you long after you’ve walked away.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that must be released is the version of myself that keeps seeking permission to exist.
The part that waits for approval before creating.
The part that apologizes for taking up space.
The part that hides the fullness of my voice so it doesn’t feel “too loud.”
That version has served its purpose—it kept me safe when I didn’t yet know my own strength.
It taught me caution, humility, patience.
But now, it has become a weight.
I am ready to let go of the fear of being misunderstood.
The fear of being imperfect.
The fear of being seen.
I am choosing expansion over shrinking.
Expression over silence.
Courage over hesitation.
The version of me that doubted whether my art was worthy has done its job.
It protected me when I was still growing.
But my growth has arrived.
So I release it.
To make room for the self who creates freely—
With clarity, conviction, and love.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding my pain the day I saw it bloom into colors only I could create that’s when it became my power.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
“The art world loves to say ‘talent speaks for itself,’ but the truth is visibility, narrative, and connection often speak louder.”
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When my time here is done, I hope people say that I saw souls, not faces.
That I didn’t just paint what was in front of me, but what was inside—the quiet stories people carry, the wounds they survived, the beauty they didn’t realize they possessed.
I want them to say that I listened deeply.
That I captured moments that could not be spoken, only felt.
That my hands translated emotions into color, texture, and breath.
I hope they say my art made people pause.
Made them remember themselves.
Made them feel gentler, softer, seen.
I don’t need to be remembered for fame, or for being perfect.
I want to be remembered for being real.
For creating work that touched the unspoken places within others.
If my art continues to speak when I can no longer do so—
If someone stands before one of my pieces and whispers, “I feel understood”—
Then that is the story I hope they tell.
