PORTFOLIO A VISUAL DIALECT
OLUWASEYI AWOYOMI ARTIST / DESIGNER
ABOUT ME Oluwaseyi Awoyomi, known as Shayee, emerges as a natural-born polymath, steeped in a lineage of artistic brilliance inherited from her family of visionaries, including the renowned Nike Okundaye and Prince Twins Seven-Seven. From the tender age of 3, Shayee immersed herself in the realm of art, seamlessly navigating between dance, song, textile, and painting under the guidance of her mother, Nike Okundaye. As an artist born into a lineage of creative pioneers, I have embarked on a journey to discover and articulate my distinct voice within art. Versatility is the hallmark of my approach, as I fearlessly navigate various mediums.
