Macaulay (bag) (2023) Design par Seyi Adeoye

Growing up surrounded by the diverse cultural tapestry of Lagos, Oluwaseyi developed a keen interest in the intersection of tradition and modernity. Her childhood fascination with the rich colors and textures of Nigerian fabrics laid the foundation for her later exploration of acrylic and embroidery as primary mediums of expression.

Oluwaseyi’s artistic journey led her to pursue a  Fine Arts degree at the University of Arts, London. It was during her academic years that she discovered the power of visual storytelling and the ability of art to serve as a catalyst for social change.

Oluwaseyi’s feminist perspective is at the core of her creations. Through acrylic and embroidery, she delicately weaves narratives that challenge gender stereotypes, celebrate women’s strength, and delve into the complexities of female identity in contemporary society. Her art serves as a visual manifesto, advocating for inclusivity, equality, and the recognition of women’s voices.

Oluwaseyi’s acrylic paintings reflect a harmonious blend of bold strokes and subtle nuances. The incorporation of embroidery adds a tactile dimension to her work, inviting viewers to engage with the intricate details that echo the complexity of the human experience.

Oluwaseyi continues to evolve as an artist, she envisions pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Her ambition is to establish an art collective that nurtures emerging talent, providing a platform for underrepresented voices within the art world.

Oluwaseyi Adeoye’s journey as a feminist artist unfolds not only on the canvas but also in the hearts and minds of those touched by her work. Through the fusion of acrylic and embroidery, she stitches together a narrative that speaks to the resilience, beauty, and power of women.
