Boluwatife Oyediran

Born in 1997 in Ogbomoso, Oyo State , Nigeria.

Boluwatife Oyediran is a Nigerian-based emerging artist. His work focuses on

the visual representation of the beauty inherent within the heritage of black identity and

the dilemma that accompanies being black.

He completed his studies at Emmanuel Alayande College of Education in 2016, where

he focused on Fine and Applied Arts and English Literature. Boluwatife finds inspiration from the realism of Kehinde Wiley and the surrealist

landscape of Rene Magritte, and the racial politics and mythology of Harmonia Rosales.

He is the first Visiting Fellow from Nigeria at the Noldor Residency (Accra-Ghana) starting 2021.
