David Olatoye is a contemporary artist based in Ibadan whose practice engages memory, familyhood, masculinity, and the quiet rituals that shape everyday life. Working primarily with acrylic, pen, fabric, and collage, Olatoye reconstructs domestic interiors and intimate relationships with a reflective tenderness that acknowledges both the sweetness and the tensions woven into daily existence. His stylized portraits merge idealized spaces with lived realities, drawing from personal history, cultural narratives, and emotional architecture to create images of connection, vulnerability, and resilience.
