NIYI
FAKEYE

Born in Ila Orangun, Osun State
on the 18 th of July 1970. He has
his elementary Education in Ila
Orangun and proceeded to Osogbo
Technical Education in Osun State
where he graduated in 1988. Niyi
joined the Universal Studios of Art
(Formally National Studios of Art) for
informal training in 1990, under the
Experienced supervision of his late
Brother Master Sculptor Bisi Fakeye.
He also had a stint at the Ania
Onabolu Studios as Resident Artist
in 2001. He has participated in some
local and international exhibitions.

God has made us in His image; likewise, he has shared His
talent to few, among them I found myself. I strongly believe
that the creativity, study, meditation, criticism, endurance and
sensitivity associated with the production of artworks make it an
intellectual vocation. Therefore, Art is Life and Life is Art the way
we should leave.
