Featured Artist Olowu Ifeoluwa(Nigeria)

Ifeoluwa Oluwaseun Olowu is a visual artist based in Lagos, Nigeria whose new creative development of bringing his art to life through Augmented Reality (AR) is progressively becoming a global desire. Ifeoluwa was born in Lagos, Nigeria and he attended Yaba College of Technology primary and secondary school where he received his early education. His enthusiasm for art increased as he watched cartoons, movies, and read comic books as a child, and at the tender age of 10, he started drawing inspiration from comic books and the natural world. This enthusiasm was nurtured throughout his childhood and deepened when he decided to pursue his Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts at the esteemed University of Lagos, where he majored in painting. Ife’s artistic technique evolved into an expressionist one that mixes drawing, designs, and paints to produce aesthetically appealing works as he later delved deeper into painting and developed his printing and design talents. He started researching Augmented Reality and the potential for engaging with conventional art in live form as a result of his passion of colors, new concepts, and shape. The brilliance of Ifeoluwa’s work has attracted attention on a global scale. His art has been featured prominently by renowned news outlets such as CNN, BBC, Reuters, Voice of Africa, TV5 Monde, Channels, Vanguard newspaper, Punch newspaper, Yahoo and more. Through his visionary approach, Ifeoluwa Oluwaseun Olowu is redefining the possibilities of art, captivating audiences around the world with his breathtaking creations.

Artist Statement

Ifeoluwa Oluwaseun Olowu In my artistic journey, self-expression takes center stage. Through the vibrant and vivid palette of colors, I immerse my audience in a world of emotions, moods, and feelings. My experimentation with various art forms allows me to push the boundaries of creativity, yet I find myself most at home working with paints. Each brushstroke becomes a reflection of my inner voice, creating pieces that resonate with the essence of human experiences. The interplay of colors and textures breathes life into my canvases, inviting viewers to journey beyond the surface and connect with the depth of the art. My artistic process is a dance of intuition and intention, allowing ach piece to unfold organically while still being guided by a purposeful vision. I seek to leave a lasting impression on those who encounter my work, evoking a sense of wonder and a glimpse into the complexity of human existence. As I continue to explore the vast realm of artistic expression, I am drawn to the profound impact art has on the human soul. My aspiration is for my art to become a vessel through which viewers can find solace, inspiration, and a shared understanding of the human condition.
