Woman Painting

Banke Jemiyo [Oreofe], is a self-taught artist whose love for painting was birthed through sketching portraits, landscapes and still life drawings. As an artist, Banke works with a variety of mediums and through contemporary and traditional techniques isn’t shy of marrying vibrant colours and eccentric concepts in her paintings. A linguist by profession, Banke’s work is inspired by different cultures, often taking an Afro dimension and incorporating Anglo-American and Asian themes, poignant visual aesthetics and interiors to create a unique narrative. Her connection with each painting has been recaptured and appreciated worldwide as her creative journey is ever evolving.
