Funmi’s Biography

Born on May 15, 1985, Funmi is an emerging artist that hails from Ogun state, Nigeria. She studied Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Nigeria where she received a B.AED (2008). She also received some training at the Universal Studios of Art (2002/ 2003) and Defactori Art Studio (2006) where she went under the tutelage of some master artists. She is a member of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA).

Funmi’s paintings aim to depict life through the combination of lines, forms and colours. She seeks to document scenes, moments, as well as moods and share the beauty of nature mostly rendered in femininity themes. She has captured her passion for human figures and landscapes which she executes using mostly acrylic on canvas, creating high contrast, vibrant colours and using conspicuously unblended brushstrokes. According to her, she uses her painting to explore the world and shares her discoveries with others.

Funmi won the 2nd place prize in the ASFAAS Painting Competition (2002) and has since participated in a number of exhibitions including:

 – Beautiful Nigeria(2006), Naija Women (2007)

– Raising Stars(2004), Rhythms (2019)

– We Believe You (2020)

– October Rain(Annual Juried Exhibition)

– Art for Charity Exhibition (2021) among others.

Her works are in several collections within and outside Nigeria.
