Each piece is a mirror, reflecting a collective journey of self-discovery.
Afeez Onakoya (b. 1997) is a Lagos-based painter whose work celebrates the human form. A graduate of Yaba College of Education, he is a visionary artist who channels deep reflections through charcoal. His art explores the intrinsic value of human life and the universal quest for self-improvement. He has exhibited in multiple shows in Lagos and the UK.
For Onakoya, charcoal is more than a medium—it is a tool for profound expression. Every stroke and smudge tells a story of human struggle, resilience, and aspiration. His work is a visual poetry that seeks to define the essence of existence, capturing emotions, dreams, and the complexities of life.
Each of his pieces is a mirror, reflecting our collective journey of self-discovery. His mastery of figurative art allows him to connect deeply with viewers, bridging cultures and time. More than an artist, Afeez Onakoya is a storyteller whose work transcends boundaries, uniting us through the shared language of the human experience.
