Morakinyo Femi is a visual artist born in Akure, Ondo State Nigeria in 1984. At an early age, Femi
was intrigued by the stamps collected by his banker father which have now become a significant
source of inspiration for his art style.

Femi lived briefly with his grandmother, a connoisseur of old textiles, hand-painted aluminum
pans, and vintage items at an early age. He was captivated by most of these items and spent a great
deal of time drawing them.

A Fine Art graduate of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, Femi is currently a Senior Art
Director at a leading digital advertising agency in Lagos, Nigeria where he works across diverse
areas such as motion graphics, illustrations, and designs.

As an artist, Femi explores classic and stunning storytelling, capable of evoking nostalgic feelings
and taking his viewers on a journey of visual pleasure using his unique stylized painting employing
acrylic, oil, charcoal, and pastel mediums. He portrays his love for vintage art by fusing antique
objects into everyday scenarios in dramatic and sometimes amusing ways.
