i'm olutoyosi, a proud black queer woman on a journey of self-discovery through the realms of art and boundless love. i reside in toronto, ontario. i'm somewhat of a newcomer to the art scene, fueled by an unwavering love for self-expression and creativity. my art is a reflection of my soul—a canvas where i explore the depths of my identity, my joys, my struggles, and the boundless love that courses through my veins. i'm also an intersectional feminist which means i'm always talking about systemic issues i and people like me face online and in real life. i love expressing myself with bold lines and vibrant colours. i love to mix colours that shouldn't go together but somehow do. it's my way of rebelling against the social norms and what is expected of me.
love. art. design.
love. art. design.
love is the foundation of my art and sole being. it transcends mere words; it's a guiding force that shapes my path. through my art, i discover the profound love i hold for myself, allowing it to bloom and radiate in bold, vibrant colours and intricate designs. it's a celebration of diversity, a source of inspiration, and a catalyst for healing. love has the extraordinary power to transform lives and create bonds that know no bounds.
my art is a journey of self-discovery where i explore the depths of my creativity and unveil the layers of my identity. each brushstroke, each digital stroke, reveals not just my artistic style but also the colours of my soul. art is my canvas, a sanctuary where i breathe life into my thoughts, joys, struggles, and aspirations. it's a reflection of my inner world, a testament to my growth and evolution as an artist. but beyond that, it's a shared experience—a bridge that connects me with kindred spirits, each stroke forging heartwarming connections.
design is the intricate thread that weaves through my creations, connecting art and love. it's the language through which i communicate my emotions, thoughts, and stories. every design choice i make is a deliberate brushstroke on the canvas of my art. it's an opportunity to convey messages, evoke emotions, and create a visual tapestry that resonates with hearts. design isn't just aesthetics; it's the embodiment of intention and purpose, a testament to the power of visual storytelling.
