Ayandare Adeniran Ayanmuyiwa  

Ayandare Adeniran, Ayanmuyiwa (born 1991) is an Artist who hails from Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Nigeria. At his early stage of life, his artistic talents sprang up and his parent helped in developing them by providing him with what they understood he needed by buying drawing books, crayons, and watercolors among others to help his creative skills.

After his primary and secondary education, he received a Nigeria Certificate on Education (NCE) from a prestigious college; the Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, where he studied Fine and Applied Arts.

Musa Ibrahim was the first practicing Artist who helped Ayandare in his Artistic career which was during a compulsory Industrial Training program for students in the Fine Arts department. After College, yawning for knowledge and flare for artistic work dragged him to Arowolo Wasiu, a metal sculptor who trained him in sculpting metal. A thirst for one's zeal can only be quenched by following the path thus making him proceed to Tope Fatunmbi who guides and mentor him in painting work.

Ayandare takes inspiration from people around him and his pride in Yoruba culture. He uses acrylic, charcoal, and fabrics on canvas as a medium. Ayandare still regards himself as a promising Artist.
