Bondage (2024) Digital Arts by Kola Olatayo Opakunle

My name is Opakunle Olatayo Kola, I was a trained soldier who has transformed into Graghic Artist, Painter, craftsmanship and Illustrator.  , am a native of Eruwa in Ibarapa local Government, Nigeria. I’m a graduate of The Polytechnic Ibadan where I studied Fine Art. I’m a professional abstract digital painter, 2D illustrator, graphic designer, and Sculpture Artist.

My story as an artist all started in my secondary school days, Class One, when I scribbled a lot, my notebooks were always filled with comical drawings, and I always ran out of paper because I always tore the middle for drawings… I remember one time, an assignment was given for the class to make drawings on different materials for teaching aid for our Grade 2 teachers then, I took the homework like a commission, gave my best on a cardboard paper, my work turned out to be the best and was used as educational material for other classes. Today am enjoying it as professional Artist.

Consistent with my multidisciplinary nature, have work with Nigerian Armed force as Visual artist craftsman, Realistic Workmanship, magazine design, whose training reflects and draws in how his individualistic convictions, yearnings, and character become connected to the work I makes.
