Jesutofunmi Ogidan

Jesutofunmi is a Lagos-based artist who explores what people hold onto for strength and meaning
in life. He looks at how these guiding forces have changed over time and across different cultures.
Using abstract art and stylized portraits, he creates work that sparks conversations about the
different ways people find stability and purpose, encouraging both personal reflection and shared
understanding. His recent series, "Hi," focuses on how quiet, introverted voices maintain their
sense of self through creative work, even when they feel overlooked or unheard. His art has been
shown at exhibitions including Athens Open Art, Coal City Art Exhibition, and October Rain
Exhibition, among others.
