Olaoluwa

Qozeem Abdulrahman Olaoluwa (b.2000) lives and works in badagry (Nigeria), is a self-taught artist.

In 2018, he worked as a studio assistant at EFstudio under the tutelage of Mr. Agemo Francis.

In his works, the artist uses acrylic, paper and charcoal on canvas as a medium of expression to address his experience and activities around him from when he was little. Growing up in a rural environment provided him with beautiful memories of playing and moments from when he was a child. These same memories are the great inspiration and influence to create a realistic mixed media painting.

Today, Olaoluwa is a highly regarded artist who has had the opportunity to exhibit in Nigeria and internationally such as Spain and Colombia.
