Artist Profile
Oluwafunke Saka
Nigerian-born, UK-based multidisciplinary artist
Oluwafunke Saka is a Nigerian-born, UK-based multidisciplinary artist whose work moves between painting, mixed media, and installation, weaving together the precision of her pharmacy background with the emotional depth of her fine art practice. Guided by themes of mental health, spirituality, identity, and transformation, she creates symbolic, atmospheric works where abstraction and figuration meet, forming visual spaces that feel both introspective and universal. Her use of colour tension, thread, and layered forms reflects an ongoing inquiry into vulnerability, power, and the subtle negotiations within the female experience. Saka’s transition from medicine to art marked not a departure but an expansion of purpose—one that bridges the body and the spirit through a methodical yet intuitive process. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions across the UK and is held in both private and public collections, earning recognition for its ability to invite reflection, renewal, and emotional resonance. Beyond her studio, she continues to explore art as a form of care and connection, extending her belief that creativity—like medicine—can help mend what we cannot always name.
