He was always a keen observer of his environment since his growing years and had bouts of loneliness and this has ended up being a great asset in his artistic career.

He then proceeded to partake in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program from November 2016, passing out in 2017.

[3] Omofemi held his first solo exhibition titled “Iriri”, which translates to “Experience” from Yoruba in 2019 at the Alexis Gallery, Lagos.

The exhibition which was made up of seventeen oil and acrylic paintings on canvas was held at the Signature African Art's Mayfair Gallery in London.
