ARTIST QUOTES:
   In spite of all that has been made, there are lots more that are yet to be created.
   I have experimented with various styles of painting as I do not want to be a virgin to any.
   The power of a great art piece lies in what the art evokes.
Yisa Akinbolaji
My long quest for a unique style that reflects my artistic philosophy culminated in my innovative  technique, Ekoyo, which I have established. With my technique, I am able to reveal colours and patterns that lie beneath the covering layers. In using the technique, I fuse the elements of Western and African art education and traditions in my mixed media works - abstract and non abstract.
