Ifeoluwapo Adeyinka

Adeyinka Ifeoluwapo Abimbola, professionally known as Ifetaofic, is a Nigerian contemporary artist and the founder of Ifetaofic Studio.

Working across painting, pen-and-ink, and mixed media, his practice is rooted in the belief that art can preserve culture, inspire dialogue, and connect people across borders. Drawing on Yoruba heritage, folklore, traditional beliefs, symbolism, and everyday human experience, he creates works that honour the past while speaking to the present.

Rather than treating African culture as history, Ifetaofic reimagines it through a contemporary visual language. His paintings explore themes of identity, memory, resilience, spirituality, belonging, and transformation—universal experiences that resonate regardless of culture or geography.

Over the past decade, his work has been exhibited across Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Niger through galleries, museums, cultural institutions, educational workshops, and international exhibitions. These experiences have strengthened his commitment to using art as a bridge between communities and generations.

Today, through Ifetaofic Studio and international representation in the United Kingdom, his practice is entering a new chapter—building connections between West Africa...
