Reuben Ayodeji | Artist at Mondoir Nationality: Nigerian Discipline: painting Born: 1996 Based in: Abuja, Nigeria BiographyReuben Ayodeji was born in Ibadan, one of the most populous city in West Africa. He works from his studio in FCT-Abuja. He comes from a lineage of artists, ranging from sculptors to textile designers. He attended the Lagos State Polytechnic, department of Art & Design and today he feels most ease with oils, acrylics and charcoal. There is a visible continuity in the body of his work which keeps getting stronger through his portraiture and West African everyday scenes. Artist StatementMy artistic focus lies in the creation of unique works that convey emotions through body language and facial expressions. As a painter, I utilize acrylic and oil mediums, employing palette knives and brushes to creatively translate my concepts beyond mere image replication. Each artwork is designed to narrate a story, exploring the impact of various issues on a daily life, both in terms of positive and negative influences.
