Sobre el Artista

Ajakaiye Taiye Odion, born in 1982 in Lagos, Nigeria, hails from Owan East Local Government in Edo State. After obtaining his National Diploma and Higher National Diploma in Painting from Auchi Polytechnic in 2013, he completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2015. Following this, he launched his career as a full-time Visual Studio Artist in Lagos.

As an artist, Taiye has devoted himself to developing a distinctive style that sets him apart from his peers. He employs an innovative technique involving the mixture of acrylic paint and glue, which not only enhances the texture of his paintings but also ensures their durability with a pronounced relief surface. His focus on figurative African art allows him to explore and express human thoughts and emotions deeply, often emphasizing body language and expressions in his work.

Currently, Taiye's work is featured in various art shows and galleries, where he continues to share his unique vision and artistic explorations.
