My introduction to the steem community
Greetings to the steem community!
My name is kunle olajide. I am a Nigerian, a father, a teacher, and most importantly, an artist. My kind of art is tapestry art. If you are wondering what that is all about, feel free to read about it in this Wikipedia article
I am a graduate of fine and applied art. I specialize in embroidery tapestry thread works on canvas, sculpture, painting, and textiles. I have been into tapestry for more than 23 years.
Apart from illustrative works, I also teach art in primary school and colleges. It gives me an unmatchable pleasure to teach talented children and beginners adults to build their interests or talents in art.
I have done several art exhibitions to make sales of my works by individual buyers and companies. The first product of my tapestry technique was bought instantly and gradually, buyers and collectors started to build up.
The success of the technique encouraged Kunle to work mainly in the tapestry medium, and in various sizes and dimensions. It has taken me to places. Kunle draws his inspiration from nature, his environment, folklore, and traditional beliefs and practices.
My major forms are derived from animals and architectural motifs. I have exhibited widely in Nigeria and West Africa. My works are in the collection of organizations such as the United Bank for Africa, Union Bank of Nigeria, and the Institute of Financial Planning.
Among the notable private collectors of my artworks are A.G Leventis, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Genevive Nnaji, Davido, and Kunle Filani, just to mention a few.
I am here to primarily post about my art and interact with other artists within the blockchain communities. I also have a presence in other blockchain communities. Hence, do not be surprised to see my artworks on other blockchains.
I am reachable via discord, kunle art#4736.
I hope to have a lovely time blogging about my artworks in this community.
Thank you all!
