Adebayo Taiwo, a native of Kwara State, Nigeria, was born and raised in Oyo, Oyo State. His artistic journey began in his junior school years when he applied for a workshop at Femo Art Studio in Oyo town. This marked the beginning of his relentless pursuit of his lifelong dream of becoming an artist. After years of mentorship and workshops at Femo Art Studio, Adebayo continued to hone his skills from home while awaiting admission to Ahmadu Bello University. Upon gaining admission, he is currently studying for his bachelor's degree in Fine Art at the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria.
Adebayo’s art serves as a window into the stories that define human existence—capturing the memories and moments that shape our lives. With each brushstroke of acrylic and oil, he portrays the highs and lows of the shared human experience. His paintings extend beyond the visible canvas, delving into the abstract backgrounds that represent the unseen world behind our stories—reflecting the chaos and calm, the noise and silence, the love, struggle, and deep connection to nature that weave the fabric of life.
Through his use of mixed materials, from the smoothness of oil to the texture of acrylics, Adebayo symbolizes the resilience and strength within him, especially in the face of life’s challenges. His artworks become open doors, inviting viewers to explore their own journeys reflected in the vibrant hues and intricate patterns on the canvas.
