Artist Statement.

My artworks are inspired by a number that I could trace to the uniqueness and endowments of Africa as a whole. Amongst them are the following which you would usually find on every piece of my works: bats, Ankara clothing, and African bead. Bats in my artworks represent my mother. Whose roles had been duplicated into both motherly and fatherly since my childhood when my father had answered his clarion call to heaven. My mother has been the only one who had been shouldering all my responsibilities for me during rainfall and sunshine according to her capacities. And on days that seem unfavorable, she buries her head in her palms or between her thighs just as a bat also does.

Oluwafemi is an indigenous artist with traditional background blended with modern education exposure. He loves to work mostly on graphite, charcoal, paper, and acrylic on canvas art pieces, to say the least. He draws, paints, and has also got a deft skill in graphics designing. Hence, I would like to submit that my artworks envisage everything in Africa. The past, the present, the future, beliefs, norms, myths, values, taboos, traditions, culture, gods, deities, and places of worship. Ethnicity, language, power, politics and rivalry, farming and agriculture, luxury and penury, freedom and enslavement, pain and joy, life and death, love and betrayal, the wealth of our poverty, and the poverty of our wealth.

Artist Biography.
