Àjoké,
You are not a joke,
But out of your spring
Series of bubbling waves of laughter
That remains undiluted like a freshly tapped
wine.

Ìbàdí àrán,
I heard that you make men
Run after you, like aràn would run after food.
Eléyinjú egé,
Men run after you, baring their igè
To the naked eyes of the sun

Oyewumi Oyindamola, Ajoke 1
Nigeria  • 1997

Presentation

Oyindamola Oyekemi Oyewumi, a self-taught realistic ballpoint pen artist, was born and currently resides in Oyo state, Nigeria. Although her educational background lies in pure and applied chemistry, having obtained her B.Tech degree from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, her true passion lies in the world of art.

For the past seven years, Oyindamola has dedicated herself to honing her artistic skills and exploring various mediums. It was her fascination with ballpoint pens as a tool for creating intricate and detailed artwork that led her to specialize in this unique and challenging technique.

Oyindamola's artworks exhibit a remarkable level of realism, capturing the essence and intricate details of her subjects with stunning precision. Her dedication to mastering the ballpoint pen medium has allowed her to create highly detailed and visually captivating pieces of art.

One of the significant milestones in Oyindamola's artistic journey occurred on March 18, 2021, when she created a portrait of Charles Hoskinson, the prominent entrepreneur and co-founder of Ethereum. The portrait gained widespread recognition when it was showcased in one of Hoskinson's tweets, eventually leading to its sale as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) for an impressive sum of $6300. This breakthrough not only marked a significant achievement for Oyindamola but also introduced her to the world of NFTs, where digital art is increasingly gaining prominence.

Oyindamola's artistic talent, combined with her innovative use of the ballpoint pen medium and foray into the world of NFTs, has garnered attention and acclaim from art enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Her unique approach and ability to breathe life into her subjects have captivated audiences, making her a rising star in the art community.

As Oyindamola continues to evolve and push the boundaries of her artistic capabilities, it will be exciting to witness her future endeavors, exhibitions, and contributions to the world of art. Her journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists and showcases the power of dedication, passion, and self-expression in the pursuit of artistic excellence.
