He obtained his Bachelor’s in Education in Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts where he specialized in painting.

People believe money is power in my society - because the leaders steal money to oppress and suffer the poor.
But I realize the opposite of this is the purpose of living.
We are all alive to put smiles on other fellow human faces, so If you are blessed with any resources, use them to improve other people’s lives and make them happy.
With this, inner fulfillment sets in and the purpose of existence is achieved.
The face and the skin of this piece depict the harmony between the colors and with this, they can make a great image and impression, which is the purpose of the existence of these colors

Vision of Hope 5
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
I was inspired to paint the portrait of an African girl, so people could see life through her lens. For you to see what it is for a disadvantaged, underprivileged child growing up in a world that doesn't care about them. Yet despite all of this, what is it that you see when you look into his eyes?
Every child regardless of their background has the right to Education, grow up in a healthy environment, proper feeding and agriculture, clean water, adequate medical program, economical development, and skilled programs, All these bring immediate and lasting solutions to children and families living in extreme poverty and provides a greater future. -
I choose to use my art as a voice for all those children who do not have one. To the governments and other civil organizations who have a moral responsibility to stand up and be counted, that time is now.
