About Artist Born and raised in Sagamu - an industrial and agricultural city located about 70km from Lagos, Nigeria's largest city - Damilola's love of art was something her father first recognized and encouraged when she was a teenager. But it wasn't until a few months after his untimely death in late 2016 that she chose to hone her skills and pursue art seriously as a way to honor her father's memory. In 2018, having amassed a collection of work she felt ready to present to the world, Damilola found herself at an impasse: where DOES a young artist showcase their work in Ogun State? Unable to find an answer, she organized the first-ever art show at her college - an academy of science, where she was studying microbiology. Using her own money and recruiting her mother and siblings as her support staff, she opened the show as an opportunity for other creatives from her school - including photographers and makeup artists - as well as artists from other schools. The reactions she received let her know that she was on the right track and she began submitting her work to open calls around the world. A year later, she was awarded the Best Young Visual Artist of 2019 by every day Chapter. Fully self-taught, Damilola Olusegun...
