About Friendship by Tomiwa Adelagun

What happens when you jumble oil, ink and digital art on canvas? Tomiwa Adelagun happens! The Nigerian mixed media artist uses his unique style to tell simple but powerful stories about people. Jagged brushstrokes tell stories of friendship, love, secrets, strength, passion, breakups, and everything else in between.

Overall, we love how Tomiwa uses his art to celebrate friendship and all parts of it - the fulfilling parts, the hard parts, the sad parts, the happy parts. His creations are all about connection and the joy we find from being with people. He also has several beautiful portraits that speak to the need for inner strength, fortitude, self love, and finding joy in the little things.
