Oluwole Omofemi born Godwin Oluwole Omofemi is an international artist who hails from Edo south in Nigeria. He was born in the ancient city of Ibadan where his artistic talent sprang to life and received the nourishment of older artists. Omofemi shared his early life with his grandpa who was a major influence on him and wanted him to become an electrician. As a child, Omofemi loved to display his creativity through infantile drawings on the floor. He dazzled his older neighbour with such displays that a woman once predicted his future artistic accomplishments. He not only experienced a measure of hardship in his childhood, but also faced lonely spells. These further helped to deepen his artistic vision and provided sources of materials for his creativity. Nostalgically, Omofemi’s childhood experiences in the inner streets of Ibadan helped shape his artist vision. However, he spent part of his childhood in Edo state Nigeria when his mother was estranged. She took him to Etsako, Agenebode – a fishing community in a coastal region.
