About the Artist
Full name: Akinwale Esther Toluwani Artist name: Tolu Art
My artistic journey began in primary school, where I first discovered my passion for drawing. It was during my time in senior secondary school, particularly in SS2, that I encountered a dedicated art teacher who significantly influenced my development as an artist. Under their guidance, I explored various topics, including painting, portrait art, sculpture, and still life drawing. Although I exhibited artistic talent from a young age, it wasn't until I graduated in 2017 that I found the courage to pursue art seriously.
After completing my studies, I focused on pencil drawing, particularly portraits, a medium I continue to refine. Since then, I have committed myself to self-directed practice, leading to significant improvement in my skills over the years. My dedication to honing my craft remains steadfast, and I actively seek opportunities to evolve as an artist. I am eager to explore different forms of art in the future, expanding my creative horizons and further developing my artistic voice.
