| Your Personal Biography |
My work is inspired nature,Yoruba fashion, fables, tales, myths and stories. I am by influenced by ancient traditional Yoruba sculptors, designers and story tellers.
I create my pieces mostly in oil, acrylic and Ink. I love telling stories in my paintings and drawings.It is one thing that annoyingly makes me meticulous.
As an Illustrator, designer and Artist, my primary interest is in creating compelling and works that invite the viewer into a world of fantasy,culture, texture and opulence. My aim always begins with a desire to connect my imagination with my visual senses to influence what people see. It is an invitation to let the imagination run wild,to explore and make personal interpretations.I am constantly watching fantasy animated movies.
I am a contemporary Yoruba artist from Nigeria.I have a degree in Fine art with honors and currently a student of African Art history from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University in the Western part of Nigeria.
There is no doubt that this is what I was born to do. I can not help but respond to the constant pressure I have to create.
