Akolo Emma Artworks
OUR STORY
Emmanuel Akolo
A self-taught multidisciplinary contemporary visual artist from Lagos, Nigeria, now based in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. A Civil Engineering graduate from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, he channels his analytical background into a thoughtful painting practice rooted in realism and impressionism. Working primarily with acrylics and Charcoals, Akolo layers expressive brushwork, intricate textures, and his own fingerprints to craft vibrant, emotive figurative works.
His art, often rendered in earthy tones and bold contrasts, reflects his environment and addresses themes of identity, social justice, and human resilience. Through his visual storytelling, Akolo documents personal and collective struggles, aiming to influence society by fostering love, tolerance, and understanding across racial, cultural, and religious divides.
