Hello Fellas, it is a pleasure to meet you all, and I take this opportunity to give you my greetings and at the same time salute the creators of this platfom, where in my understanding, we can show our talents and creativities to be recognized and appreciated in some ways. I want to start my introduction by talking a little about my personal data.
I am ADELEKE FEMI, I am a Visual artist, I hailed from OSUN STATE a land of virtues where honey and milks flows together, I became an artist slowly. As a child, I had a very vivid dream, and the dream was simple then, I just wanted to be an artist. I drew everyday and practiced with as much passion and pure intent as many others.
I started developing interest in art at a very tender age along with my peer group trying to imitate the picture the way it is, especially pictures in newspapers, at times picturing some abstract image using them to communicate in an interesting drama on protagonist and antagonist along with the villain making it dramatic.
Later I was discovered by a great artist in my native town who finished from OAU Obafemi Awolowo University he saw most of my frequent drawing an got impressed with my level of commitment to drawing, he started motivating me as an upcoming artist.

I actually put in for Visual arts and got admitted into a college, there I saw how art has gone far beyond my thinking, though I struggled to balance my skills and making friends by picking the best guys in my class as my friends.
I graduated from college with a good grade and went for a year I.T (industrial training) at National theatre universal studios of art (Lagos, Nigeria) where I met alot of great artist like Mr.Abiodun Olaku, Wallace Ejoh, Mr Josh alot of great artist increasing my skills and I got to love the pallette s of these great artists and kept learning from them.
I learnt that their art speaks infinitely more than words can communicate. I futhered my education and got admitted into the University of Lagos, and continued my career as an artist. It was as I grew older, that I grew to become more interested in my dream. I got introduced to this platform, thanks to my friend , who told me about this lovely platform.
