Onditi’s work examines the cyclical nature of human experience and behaviour, encapsulated in the often used expression ‘what goes around, comes around’.
His work often depicts a lonely character named ‘Smokey’ who represents a blank state of mind. The artist works in muted hues using a reductive technique to navigate what he refers to as the dilemma of the human condition.
