About Artist
Ogunleke Festus Abiodun was born on December 17, 1998. A Nigerian surface painter with a textured finish. He studied art full-time and graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, Osun State, with a degree. Intricate designs painted on a spiral texture are a hallmark of his distinctive painting technique, which represents human imbalance and life's intricacies.
Taking inspiration from people's varied experiences, He wants to use art to express the core of human emotions and hardships. His art explores themes of perseverance, vulnerability, and the interdependence of life, delving into the depths of the human psyche.
Artist Statement
In my artwork, I explore the interconnectedness of nature and humanity through the use of spiral texture on the background and roots on the human body. The spiral texture represents the cyclical nature of life, the constant movement and evolution of the world around us. It symbolizes growth, transformation, and the interconnectedness of all living beings.
The roots on the human body serve as a visual representation of our connection to the earth, our foundation and source of nourishment. They intertwine with the figure, weaving in and out of the skin, symbolizing the deep roots of our existence and how we are grounded in the natural world.
Together, the spiral texture and roots tell a story of resilience and growth, of the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all living beings. They remind us of our place in the world, our connection to the earth, and each other. Through this artwork, I aim to evoke a sense of harmony and unity, a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and our place within it.

Be Bold
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Be Bold" is a striking piece that demands attention from the moment one sets eyes on it. The central figure, a woman with flowing blue hair, exudes an air of confidence and resilience. The blue hue not only serves as an aesthetic choice but also carries deeper significance, representing the freedom to break societal norms and embrace personal identity without fear.
The composition is masterfully crafted, with bold brushstrokes and intricate details that draw the viewer into the artwork. The woman's piercing gaze locks with the observer, inviting them to explore their own journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Each stroke of Theophilus's brush seems to radiate energy and passion, capturing the spirit of the subject and infusing the artwork with a powerful presence.
"Be Bold" serves as a powerful symbol of embracing individuality and embracing one's true self. The woman with blue hair stands as a representation of those who dare to be different, challenging societal expectations and norms. The vibrant blue color symbolizes freedom, confidence, and the courage to break free from conformity.
In a world that often pressures individuals to fit into predefined molds, Theophilus's artwork is a reminder of the beauty and strength found in embracing one's unique qualities. "Be Bold" calls on viewers to celebrate their differences, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and express their true selves without hesitation or fear of judgment.
The power of "Be Bold" lies in its ability to evoke a strong emotional response in those who experience it. The artwork serves as a catalyst for introspection, urging viewers to reflect on their own lives and choices. The confident and defiant gaze of the woman with blue hair prompts individuals to question their own limitations and seek the courage to break free from them.
By inspiring viewers to be bold, Theophilus encourages self-empowerment and personal growth. Through his art, he instills a sense of pride and confidence, reminding us that our uniqueness is a strength to be celebrated, not hidden away. The artwork's impact extends beyond the confines of the gallery walls, inspiring individuals to embrace their authentic selves and pursue their passions with unwavering determination.
