“Painter of the lights”
Omar Logang was born in southern Sudan into an artist family. His father was a noted woodsculptor. Very early on, Omar showed artistic ability and no one was surprised when he was admitted to the School of Fine Arts in Khartoum, where he was brilliant.
After graduating, he enrolled to complete his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Tetouan, Morocco.
Because of the political unrest that has rocked Sudan for several years, his family urges him not to return after completing his studies. He decided to seek political asylum in Spain, which was granted to him in 1993. Omar became a Spanish citizen in 1996.
For seventeen years, Omar painted in Spain, making trips every year to Morocco, Mali, and the south of France. He stubbornly seeks the changing light of these sites.
He devotes himself to landscape painting, representative painting, portraits as well as city scenes.
Regardless of the “academic” career that opened up to him in Africa, Omar wants to open his painting to wider horizons and draw inspiration from major elements of European art.
The use of bright colors is quite unique to him and this work should be considered as an original process. The clean style of his paintings reflects an expression of detachment and loneliness.
Omar has made numerous solo exhibitions in Madrid in famous galleries. He is now starting to be known more widely, and his works are exhibited in France, Italy, Germany, UK, Russia and the USA.
