Onarietta Remet made her first painting at 18 months. The painter, photographer and graphic designer is now seven years old. The eldest of three siblings, she is the granddaughter of Ben Odiase, who composed Nigeria’s national anthem.
Onarietta’s younger sister, four-year-old Onatteni, is also a painter. She already has 75 paintings and continues to churn out more. It is no wonder that the two sisters are applying themselves this way as artistry runs in the family. Their parents, both painters, have put in time and energy to help develop their daughters’ talent.
“The consciousness of the father to the child’s ability to grow up to and meet a need in society is important because parenting will affect the outcome of the society through the child,” says Pius Remet, the girls’ father. The landscape designer, who is self-employed, works closely with his daughters.
