Onekean began his creative path through graffiti and street art, drawn to the immediacy and raw energy of painting on walls. Over time, his focus shifted toward more meditative, studio-based work. His paintings now speak in hushed tones, offering atmospheric fields of color that seem to breathe.
Inspired by the emotional depth of Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and the immersive experiences of artists such as James Turrell, Onekean brings a quiet precision to his compositions. Each gradient is patiently built through countless layers, creating depth not just in form but in feeling. His work is deeply rooted in the rhythms of nature and light—sunset, mist, twilight—and in the emotional landscapes they suggest.
Through subtlety and restraint, Onekean creates space for viewers to pause, reflect, and connect.
