Samuel Kayode Toba
Samuel Kayode Toba (b. 1990) is a Nigerian contemporary conceptual artist based in Oyo State. A graduate of The Polytechnic Ibadan, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Painting in 2018, Samuel has developed a distinctive visual language that merges tradition and experimentation.
Working with acrylic and newsprint on textured canvas, his work draws deeply from Nigerian folklore, cultural memory, and the expressive power of color. With bold brushwork and animated compositions, he weaves narratives that explore identity, spirituality, and interconnectedness.
Samuel's works have been exhibited locally and internationally, praised for their emotional resonance and layered symbolism.
