Immanuel Ola Adebowale

Immanuel Ola Adebowale was born in Lagos Nigeria and now resides in Nicosia with his wife Aneta.

He formally studied art for nearly a decade, graduating from the best known Art school in Black Africa, Yaba College of Technology, Yaba Lagos Nigeria with a National Diploma in Fine Arts in the year 1996, and receiving a B.A in Fine/Applied Arts from the University of Benin Nigeria in 1999.

Along with his art, he was a Fine Art teacher, and eventually decided to do a masters degree to acquire a wider range of style and experience while exploring the wealth of historic European art and chose a college here in Cyprus.

Although he could be termed in between a modern expressionist and a modern realist, most of my subject/theme and strong colors can also place him within the classical art category. He enjoys and specialises in heavy textured painting with the unconventional style/method that involves the use of other art tools (excluding brushes and such formal tools), knife and spatula mainly.

He feels that art has always been his inborn talent, not only in the field of fine Arts but in writing fiction as well. He has completed two novels in the past and self-published one of them, a young adult genre novel titled "Tears of Fame".
