Adubi-Mydaz Makinde

Makinde James OlaDapo (A.K.A Adubi Mydaz), was born in Oyo state, and is a self-thought professional artist. He graduated in 2007 from Olabisi Onabanjo University with a Bachelor’s in History and Diplomatic Studies.
Adubi consistently exhibits artworks of a broad representational style; an expressive abstract composition that are inspired by contemporary life. As one examines the semi-abstract pictures closely, these images which symbolize faces and forms of age long afro-centric sculptures reregister the uniqueness embedded in African originality. Adubi lives in Nigeria where he explores his artistic passion in a private studio as a full-time painter.
