Ifeoluwa Kalejaiye

Kalejaiye Ifeoluwa is a self-taught contemporary Nigerian visual
artist based in Southwest Nigeria, who started off by drawing
commissioned pencil portraits , but with an ardent desire to

wanting to do more by enacting his creativity to address socio-
cultural realities.

His intention of creating art is to portray the tussle and ordeal of
the typical black people as a product of their society, a story he
is eager and inspired to relay until it's no longer needed be told,
of which such expectation is unarguably a castle in the air.

Ifeoluwa strongly believes his art can spur a social change and
help people conceptualize their space by looking inward to
realize how unique they are amid their struggles while holding
the belief that we all have a common ground.

Working as a mixed media artist mainly with charcoal and
acrylics, his art process is drawing with layers of charcoal on
canvas while carving into the skin to depict our vulnerabilities
with harmonious colors.
