Mayowa Adekile is a native of Ilesha, Osun State, Nigeria. He started
drawing at a tender age by emulating his elder brother who drew
habitually then. The story of Mayowa as a Visual Artist was established
on mentorship by an artist in Ilesha. He was exposed to hyperrealism
and extremely detailed drawings under his mentor’s tutorship which
quality shone in all his works. Although a graduate of mathematics his
passion for art is as strong as ever, during his undergraduate days in
Universities he was responsible for leadership of some artists
associations, mentoring the young amateur artists and organizing some
school exhibitions.
As a Mathematician, he explored the relationship between visual art and
mathematics. Mayowa was able to confirm and put into practice his
hypothesis on the relationship between both by using an algorithm and a
mathematical formula called GOLDEN RATIO for making perfect
drawings. He was able to see the advantages of pixel and resolution
combined with golden ratio to make a perfect drawing.
The references he uses for his works are things he sees, thinks and feel
about life. A closer look at his works would show you how much of a
philosopher he is.
The essence of his works is to show everyone the vices, good, bad and
beauty of the world and how powerful art can be as a means for change agitations
