Digital artist

Lagos, Nigeria

Mayowa Enoch Aiyedogbon, who works as Ai_mayor, is a digital artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. He tells stories about himself and his culture through colour, he says. Working in Photoshop and Affinity, he makes expressive digital works rooted in identity, memory and everyday life. He often sets faces and figures among flowers, marbled surfaces and fabric pattern. He describes his art as personal and bold, a visual language where colour carries feeling. Each piece becomes a story that feels both intimate and collective.
