Biography

I studied Fine Art at the Osun State College of Education in Nigeria and Southeast Essex College of Arts and Technology, UK. I live and work in Osogbo, Nigeria, where I am also the owner and curator of Genesis Art Gallery. The gallery has as its principal aim the showcasing and promotion of the wealth of creative arts, literature, dance and drama of my country.

Osogbo is the centre of a vibrant and long-running artistic tradition which combines Yoruba concepts and techniques with expressionist creativity. My work as a contemporary painter, sculptor and wood carver is inspired by my faith, my love for the nature that surrounds us, and my deep affinity with my own cultural background, traditions and identity.
