Ifeoluwapo Olojede is a multi-disciplinarian artist who loves to explore available materials to express himself in art. He started as a trained artist under the tutelage of his father who was a self-taught draughtsman and very good at it and IfeOluwapo followed suit to take it as his choice of career from early education. He had his Bachelor of Art and Masters in Fine Art from Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife Nigeria in 2013 and 2018 respectively. For his unrelenting effort in art exploration, he has explored the use of bark of trees as a medium of expression in Painting and sculpture and many of his masterpiece had justified it. Many of his tree bark artworks are part of collections in Obafemi Awolowo University Museum in Ile ife Nigeria. He has participated in many exhibitions both home and abroad and many art competitions with relevant awards to him. Currently, he is into exploration of styles of contemporary masters like Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian in a view to create a kind of hybrid style of two great Masters on a masterpiece, though taking it beyond the masters points of exploration.
