Nathaniel Bolarinwa
Bolarinwa’s paintings feature figures interwoven with elements of tree bark, branches, and leaves - a poetic expression of the deep connection between human and plant life. For the artist, both are living beings that breathe, move, reproduce, exist in singular beauty, and ultimately return to the earth.
His work embodies a form of botanical surrealism, brought to life through his distinctive use of texture, vivid colour, and the contemplative, wide eyes that define his portraiture.
