Ayanfe Olarinde

Ayanfe Olarinde (born 1996) is a self taught multimedia visual artist. She obtained a BSc. in Microbiology from the University of Lagos in 2018. Her journey into art stems from her love of scribbling, a process through which she is able to unpack her emotions in playful and intriguing ways, whilst speaking on broader issues of self exploration as well as the stories that often are untold. Ayanfe’s forms of expressions have evolved to include photography and mixed media collages, and the underlying theme through her all works is the interrogation of society and governance. She has participated in multiple group exhibitions, and her works have been written about in publications such as NowThis News, CNN, Euro news, Konbini, and RADR Africa to name a few.
