We will be fighting
Till Africa and Africans are free
We’ve been up there
And seen poverty beyond compare
we know slave drivers just don't care
They just don't care
Africa's the richest place
But it has the poorest race
And to us it's just a disgrace
Africans don't wait too long
We gotta fight because it's not wrong
To be poor it's a hurtful pain
Living in poverty is a burning shame
Help yourself because man you're not lame
You are not lame

Art enthusiast, archivist, antiquarian and Nigerian hybrid printmaker Tosin Oyeniyi hails from Oyo State, Nigeria where he spent his childhood and teenage years before migrating to other parts of the Country.
The meticulous and intrinsically talented Print-Making Artist predictably exploded after bagging his 1st Degree from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University where he studied Fine and Applied Arts and graduated as a Graphics specialist.
Tosin has since stuck with a similitude of an even blend of naturalism and post-expressionism as he colourfully and ingeniously shares the rich and vast African beauty, stories, sceneries and culture with the rest of the world through Prints (LINOCUT).
Professionally, the highly spirited, independent-minded, Artist has been practicing since 2015 and currently resides in Ibadan.
Through Art, I specifically seek to exhibit, project and export the rich, enormous and vastly undermined African culture and her custom to the rest of the world. While unravelling the blacks under-appreciated pasts, I also narrate her unscripted socio-economic stages of developments unapologetically.
My works intentionally mirrors and reflects the unpalatable plights of the poor, the predicaments of a typical African woman, the quagmire of the out-of-school children and the vexation of the homeless.
Although on the other side, I also display the contentment of an average African family with hope-filled, glowing eyeballs adorned in her rich agrarian environment.
My Art, which subvert conventional ideas in styles and final looks, particularly investigates the Blacks persistent yearning for peaceful co-existence, drawing particular attention to the prosperity that is obtainable only within a serene environment, without being political.
Coupling modern education with being an indigenous Artist from a modest background makes my ethos relatable, in that it exhibits real life situations of real Black people.
I have been privileged to feature in several virtual and on-site Art EXHIBITIONS both on the home soil and in overseas. Notable among them are:
- WCPF23 (Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, London UK, 2023.
