“Fuskar Mafarki” by Daminu Wasiu is a collection of abstract portrait paintings that drifts between memory, imagination, and emotion. Built through bold colors, layered textures, and expressive forms, the series reflects the artist’s ability to create faces that feel both familiar and otherworldly at the same time.

About This Collection

Created in 2026, the “Fuskar Mafarki” series embraces abstraction as a way of communicating feeling beyond realism. Some portraits appear calm and inviting, while others carry a strange tension beneath their bright surfaces. Through instinctive brushwork and vivid color relationships, Daminu Wasiu creates artworks that invite personal interpretation rather than fixed meaning.
