About Artist
Ayotunde Ayomide is a contemporary mixed-media artist who weaves heritage, resilience, and identity stories into every canvas. His work is a bold exploration of charcoal and acrylic techniques, basket weaving motifs, and reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of Africa.
Art, for Ayomide, is more than visual expression; it's a dialogue between the past and the present. Drawing inspiration from daily life, traditional patterns, and the dynamic energy of modern Nigeria, he creates pieces that are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. Each brushstroke, texture, and colour palette is a tribute to the strength and beauty embedded in African history.
Artist Statement
My work is a visual testament to hope, faith, and resilience. Rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Africa, I blend bold acrylic techniques and basket-weaving motifs to create layered, textured pieces that tell stories of identity and transformation.
My art is a bridge between tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from daily life and cultural patterns. But beyond aesthetics, my work is a message a reminder that even in the face of challenges, there is strength, beauty, and the promise of renewal. Each brushstroke, woven detail, and vibrant colour symbolize the enduring power of hope and the belief that growth is always possible.
The Symbolism of Basket Weaving in My Art
In my work, the basket weaving motif is more than a decorative element; it is a powerful symbol of purpose, resilience, and the quiet beauty of timing. Inspired by the timeless story of the Pot and the Basket, this motif reflects a universal truth: everyone has their season to shine.
In the story, the Pot boasts of its ability to carry water, while the Basket, with its woven gaps, is dismissed as useless. Yet, when the season shifts and the rains cease, it is the Basket that becomes essential carrying the village’s harvest with grace and strength. This narrative mirrors the rhythms of life, where talents and purposes may not always be immediately visible or celebrated, but that does not diminish their value. The purpose is not defined by constant recognition but by the right moment to flourish.
Through the intricate patterns of basket weaving, I explore themes of hope, faith, and motivation. The open spaces within the weave—what some might view as flaws—are integral to its function, much like the gaps and uncertainties in our own lives that often shape us in unseen ways.
