Tomiwa Adesina

I'm a Nigerian born fashion model based in Brooklyn, New York. I have over five years of experience walking runways and bringing visions to life through fashion. My journey in the industry has taught me the power of expression, this has naturally led me to explore another creative path in painting.
In my artwork, I strive to capture raw emotions and the human spirit, blending bold colors, intense contrasts, and textured layers. Each piece is an exploration of identity, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection. Inspired by my roots and the stories I encounter, I aim to evoke a sense of depth and connection in every stroke. Each piece is an invitation to connect, to feel, and to experience life from a different perspective.
Thank you for joining me on this creative journey.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work is a deep exploration of human emotion, expressed through bold strokes, rich textures, and a fusion of abstraction with realism. I am drawn to the intensity of human expressions—the silent stories told through a gaze, a gesture, or the weight of an unspoken thought. Each piece I create is an attempt to capture those fleeting moments, translating them into visual narratives that evoke connection and introspection.

Rooted in my Nigerian heritage and influenced by my experiences in fashion and storytelling, my art seeks to challenge perception and invite the viewer into a world of raw, unfiltered emotion. Whether through vibrant contrasts or subtle nuances, I aim to create works that resonate on a visceral level, leaving space for personal interpretation and feeling.

Through my paintings, I hope to bridge the gap between the seen and the felt, making emotion something tangible—something you don’t just observe, but experience.
