Artist Profile

O.D Adedeji
Hyperrealist painter from Nigeria
O.D Adedeji is using her art to raise money for sickle cell disease, a genetic condition that disproportionately affects people of African and Caribbean descent. As a portrait artist of Nigerian descent, she incorporates her heritage and cultural background into her artworks to reveal the beauty and dynamism of Nigerian culture to new audiences. Adedeji's work recognizes how this community is often underrepresented in institutions founded upon the exclusion of people based upon race and cultural heritage.
