AMIAF 2023 Participating Artist-Popoola Nurudeen | Artmiabo


AMIAF 2023 Participating Artist-Popoola Nurudeen

Sponsored by El Anatsui, in 2022, Popoola Nurudeen exhibited an off-exhibition in Senegal's Dak'Art Biennale as a top prize-winner in the Life in My City Art Festival.
While his artworks are easy to love, they focus on expressing and stamping the modernity of Africanism. Popoola's practice is centered around creating a reverie visualization of African youths, male or female, as a call of clarion to maintain the identity of their heritage.



He is the winner of the World Bipolar Day Art Competition (2018). He has been featured in exhibitions by Didi Museum (Passing on The Touch, 2012); the Lagos Art and Fashion Exhibition (2015); United Nations Information Centre (2017); amongst others.
Popoola is the overall best-graduating student in the School of Art, Design, and Printing, Yaba College of Technology Lagos, 2016. Also, in 2014 and 2015, he received the award of Best Student in Painting.




He is a former lecturer at The Ultimate University Porto Novo, Benin Republic.
He had his first solo exhibition "EVOLVE" in February 2021. His works have been collected both by reputable galleries and art collectors.
Popoola Nurudeen is set to display his adorable artworks as one of the beneficiaries of the Artmiabo International Art Festival's free slots opened to promote fast-rising emerging artists.

Set post notifications to receive updates on AMIAFSLOT2023 artists, galleries, and individual participating artists who have secured a booth at this year's festival themed: "artofafrobeats."

  Handmade Business Marketing: Tips to Grow Your Craft Sales Explore effective marketing tips for handmade businesses. Learn how to create a strong brand, market your products, and grow your craft sales both online and offline. I remember when I decided to craft and sell my recycled art objects, it was scary because I didn't know how to go about it. I spent time creating craft items that would stay in my storage for months because I felt they were not good enough, until I joined Pinterest in 2013 and that changed. I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".  The more I blogged about my craft and posted on pinterest the more the views increased and people shared their ideas with me. No one is alone in this journey people need what you are selling they just need more convincing and consistency from us. Marketing your handmade business effectively is essential for attracting customers, increa...

Abstract Art Silhouettes by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Silhouettes My practice in Abstract Expressionism is rooted in color as a force of identity rather than decoration.  Through what I define as Abstract Silhouette Art, I strip the human figure of literal detail and reconstruct it through saturated, expressive color fields. I am particularly drawn to the tension between presence and absence.  Traditional silhouettes rely on darkness to define form, but my work deliberately disrupts this logic.  I replace shadow with luminosity, transforming what is typically obscure into something vivid, animated, and impossible to ignore.  In doing so, I challenge the viewer’s expectation of how the human form should be perceived and understood. The silhouette, for me, is not a reduction of identity but an expansion of it.  By removing physical specificity, I create space for psychological, emotional, and symbolic readings to emerge.  Color becomes the language through which these identities are constructed...

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...
