Blue Omari
Blue Omari, a Congolese interdisciplinary painter, multimedia artist, and DJ, has made Long Beach, California, her creative home base. With creativity as her lifelong companion, she has fully committed to a career as a multidisciplinary artist. Blue’s work is a vibrant reflection of her rich cultural heritage, deeply influenced by her Congolese roots, which play an integral role in shaping her artistic voice. Her art spans painting, mixed media, textile work, and digital forms, creating a unique fusion of tradition and modernity, spiritual exploration, and personal growth.
Omari’s visual compositions are characterized by their bold childlike abstraction, vibrant hues, and rich textures. She layers acrylic paint, paper collages, and traditional African fabrics, weaving together bold expressions of womanhood. By incorporating sewing—a practice learned from her mother—Blue pays homage to her ancestry, adding both symbolic depth and texture to her works.
Her goal is to uplift, inspire, and encourage deep reflection in those who encounter her work. Each piece serves as a testament to her life’s purpose and an invitation for others to embrace their authentic selves unapologetically. Her art explores themes of love, friendship, support, heartbreak, loneliness, and faith in Jesus, creating a profound connection between her cultural heritage and personal identity. Blue is dedicated to engaging her audience in meaningful dialogues about spirituality, resilience, and the transformative power of creative expression, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journeys and the importance of living in one’s truth.
