We forget what it is like
to laugh, to play,
we forget what it is like to
exist in moments of joy.
Playfulness is an attitude of pure glee,
playing is curiosity in action,
approaching each moment as new,
full of beautiful possibility, of imagination.
It's a grace and laughter
even when falling and crawling
It uses our bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits to explore the world around us with kindness and awe.
But we often forget this because of worries and anxiety
We need to remember to play.

Esther Oyeyemi is a distinctive multidisciplinary contemporary artist who bridges personal memory and universal themes. Born in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, in April 1995, her passion for art was evident from a young age, leading her to experiment with diverse mediums of expression. Esther's art profoundly explores dualism, identity, and memory, often reflecting her childhood experiences. She uses acrylics to craft vivid narratives that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible, inviting viewers to engage with the dialogue between the subconscious and the environment. Esther holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education in painting and graphic arts from Emmanuel Alayande College of Education and a Bachelor's degree in Fine and Applied Arts Education from Obafemi Awolowo University. Her work has been featured in several exhibitions, including the Lasgidi Art Exhibition, the Art Arising Virtual Exhibition by Alliance51, and the Life in My City Art Festival, where she emerged among the top 100 Nigerian artists in 2022. She also participated in a virtual group exhibition at Harmer Gallery, London, in 2023. Currently residing in Oyo State, Esther's art bridges her personal journey and collective human experiences.
