[2][3] Born in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, Olumide's love for drawing and painting started when he was 4.
[4] He cites Pablo Picasso and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni as his role models.
[5] The hyperrealism created in the oil paintings makes his work seem so lifelike that it is hard to believe they aren't.
His drawing and painting are inspired by his environment, mostly using water as the principal theme of his works.
Olumide currently owns an art studio in Ikorodu where he showcases his works and exhibitions.
