Emmanuel Ojebola was born in southwest Nigeria Eruwa Oyo state in the late 90s. He had his secondary education in Baptist model High school Sango Eruwa where he developed his interest in the art using the course of his junior secondary school education.

His interest in art came from learning from his then-creative got art teacher (Mr. Segun Adesope) before proceeding to improve his art skills at the Ibarapa Polytechnic Eruwa. 

He loves to work with mixed media but majorly with coffee and acrylic and oil. His passion for African black women and children with the childhood care he gets from his mother during his childhood days is got an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

He believes women are Virgo and sees them as gods here on earth. He sees himself as a creator who uses his coffee to create a human figure with a depth and meaningful art piece.

Emmanuel Ojebola now practices as a full-time studio artist with a well-known and talented artist Oluwole Omofemi. And he sees the likes of Cesar Santos, Eddie Filer, and Oluwole Omofemi as inspirational figures. He sees his art as a part of him and a way for him to express the way he sees the world and its beauty of it.
