ARTIST STATEMENT
from The Kaleidoscope Exhibition
by Deji
I have always wanted to stand out. All my life, I have been a creative - I draw, paint and photograph mind-blowing images. What to create and how to create things are the constant questions I ask myself. I always do things in the most unique ways so intentionality is key to how I create.
Each piece I create is an extension of my personal experiences and my journey through life

I love to see the world in colours - it is the foundation on which my art is built I utilise bright, vibrant colours to depict the magic I see in nature and my immediate environment.
I like to work on several projects concurrently and I do not limit myself to one medium, concept or style. Ideas change. Inspiration changes. Knowledge changes. I believe the further you explore, the better you are as an artist, so I like to pick up new ideas to create every time.
More recently, I have been searching for more ways to create pieces that can inspire the younger generation and charge them to create too I see art as more than just beautiful images It is a means to communicate and tell stories
My most recent body of work “RCVRY”, for instance, is my way of charging the younger generation to regain control of their self-esteem, innate abilities and culture, and to let the world see what they are capable of. I wish to be the voice of the new generation of creatives, an inspiration to many.
