The Artist

I'm Ọláyinká, a self-taught artist based in Ontario, Canada.

​​

I didn’t believe I could be an artist until I picked up a pen in 2023. I haven’t put it down since.

​

I had a corporate career: steady, sensible, planned out. I left it to make what I always wanted to see. Original art with my own signature touch, made to be carried every day, not just hung on a wall.

​

Every piece starts with a loose line and no plan for where it goes next. I don’t let myself see my own next move, on purpose. So every mandala looks perfectly symmetrical from far away. Up close, nothing was planned. That’s the point.

​

I’m not asking you to admire it from a distance. I’m making it something you can carry.
