The weight of transformation

Ekundayo's journey as an artist is deeply intertwined with his personal experiences. His uncle's sketchbook, a documentation of years of artistic experimentation and expression, was a major influence. This book served as a source of inspiration and guidance for Ekundayo’s technical development. Yet his approach to art goes beyond mere aesthetics; it's rooted in philosophy, exploring themes of transformation, resilience, and the human condition.

“The elephant symbolizes the pressure on the human chest, as we live under pressure. At the same time, there is a sense of relief, with the growing flowers representing a new beginning. The ribbons represent movement, the constant change in the world. It's a game of opposite feelings.” / Ekundayo
