Elijah Olanase, born in 1999, is a contemporary visual artist from Nigeria who primarily paints portraits and figures with oil paints and acrylics on canvas. His work explores history, culture, time, simplicity, and purity and represents the contemporary African version of emotions. 

His technique uses thin and thick layers of colors to create expressions, movements, and textures in my subjects. Every one of his works passes different expressions, in the way of touching people’s lives, in positive ways. His works have been featured in various exhibitions both at home and abroad and purchased by various collectors.
