Dayo Gerard Akindoyeni, who works as Ghalavanqche, is a Nigerian illustrator and concept artist based in Benin City. He has a background in Fine Art and Graphic Design. His practice spans digital illustration, concept art, character design, worldbuilding and book covers. His work explores African identity, culture, beauty and everyday life through simple contemporary digital art. In his words, he creates "quiet narratives that celebrate African people and the world around them." His portraits are built from clean planes of colour, and gold appears sparingly, as a mark of worth.
