Born in 2000 in Nigeria, Abdulrahman Qozeem Olaoluwa paints not just with color, but with memory itself. His canvases are restless landscapes, where the laughter of childhood echoes through bursts of acrylic, and faces — ghosted in paper and charcoal — emerge like half-remembered dreams. For Abdulrahman, creation is an act of excavation: digging into the soil of lived experience to unearth relics of wonder, play, and forgotten suns. His works do not imitate life — they breathe it anew, suspended somewhere between the solid world and the shimmering mist of remembrance.
