About the Artist

Damola Ayegbayo is a passionate and experienced visual artist with a deep-rooted history in the arts and crafts industry. His vibrant style breathes life into portraits and compositions through colour, texture, and story.

His unique style, ÀBÈFÉ — meaning "pleaded to be loved" in Yoruba — evokes emotional connection, reverence, and cultural richness.

Damola’s inspiration comes from his grandfather, a renowned painter, sculptor, and ceramist, whose legacy now echoes through Damola’s evolving work.
