Adebayo Jude

I’m Jude Adebayo, a Lagos-based Nigerian artist working primarily in painting and drawing. My work explores identity, memory, human emotions, and the untold stories within African experiences.

I’m interested in how culture, upbringing, and society shape the way we see ourselves and others. Through my paintings, I tell stories from where I come from while creating space for conversations around identity, beauty, freedom, and the human experience.

I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and developing my practice, with the hope of creating work that people can connect with beyond the canvas.
