About the artist
Akintunde Damilola Emmanuel. Hailed from Ondo State in western Nigeria were he had his primary and secondary school education in 2010 and 2016 respectively. At his early development, Emmanuel was inspired by a sculptor- Sculptor Eniola Banjo in Ogun State.

Am a visual artist from Nigeria majoring in sculpture, my works reflects African identity, dignity, beauty and cultural heritage using discarded materials such as waste plastics and scrap metals, up-cycling and forging them into something beautiful. While my practice preserved African culture it also contributed to the ecosystem by picking of waste materials from the environment up-cycled them to create a sustainability art practices.
