Ayodeji Kingsley/ Men Art

Ayodeji Kingsley is a Nigerian-born artist based in the United Kingdom who predominantly works with metal in his sculptures. Ayodeji has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria and a master's in environmental control and assessment from the University of Derby in the United Kingdom. Ayodeji's artistic side was awakened at a young age, and he excelled in fine and creative art throughout his basic and secondary education. Over the years, he has developed his own imaginative and conceptual mind through drawing, paranomasia, making graphic illustrations and, most recently, sculpting. Initially, to supplement his income during university, his digital art practice began as a creative outlet and source of extra cash. However, the act of creation was far more than a mere means to an end. After completing his first degree, he consciously transitioned from a part-time pursuit to a dedicated artistic career by taking tutelage from artists in the country, self-development, and attending exhibitions.
