Life

She was born in Ogun. Olawumni Banjo studied at the Pan African University.[1]

She has deepened her artistic knowledge at the Aina Onabolu Modern Art in 2005, starting to paint with acrylic and oil in 2006.[2]

Her works are made in pencil or charcoal and paints with acrylic paint or oil painting on canvas. Her art is explanatory, metalinguistic function, speaks for itself, so that the public can grasp the meaning of the works and appreciate it. She is inspired by nature, the people who surround her, past and present experiences and the works of other artists, especially of the Renaissance masters. Recently, her works are strongly influenced by the surrealist art movement.

Olawumni is also a member of the African Artists' Foundation.
