Tosin James

Artist Biography

Tosin James (Mudb0yy) (b. 1994) is a Nigerian multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans nude photography, video, and painting, using the human form as a profound language of vulnerability, strength, and beauty. A graduate of Statistics(B.Sc) from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. His work explores the intersection between body, identity, and environment, often merging natural landscapes with raw expressions of humanity to reflect on themes of choice, freedom, and personal pathways.

A self-taught painter, Mudb0yy’s visual storytelling grew deeper in 2017, when he discovered photography and began shaping his artistic voice behind the lens. In 2019, he further refined his skills through a six-month photography program at the Losgiddy School of Photography in Lagos, where he embraced technical mastery while keeping his instinctive, experimental approach.

Central to his work is the celebration of nudity not as provocation, but as authenticity—a medium through which he communicates tenderness, intimacy, and self-acceptance. His paintings often echo the same ethos, blending body forms with natural motifs, landscapes, and symbolic outlines that speak to life’s choices and personal transformation.
