Born in 2002, Oyewole Tayo Oyelade is a young Nigerian artist. Oyewole's passion for art started at a young age, and he has since then honed his skills through various apprenticeships and formal education.
Oyewole's artistic education started as an apprentice at Heritage Creations from 2014 to 2019, where he learned the intricacies of traditional art techniques. He later went on to study at Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic Eruwa, where he obtained a National Diploma in Fine Arts in 2022.
Oyewole’s works are based around the trajectory of life. His works are thought provoking, soul stirring exploration of human lives and experiences and a journey into the depths of the human heart and soul. He effortlessly blends realism, surrealism and geometric abstraction with thought provoking landscapes embedded in the background. He paints the human skin in the form of a weaved basket. This he uses to depict how our different experiences, thought patterns etc made us the kind of person we currently are.
