Artist Profile

Oluwafunke Saka
Nigerian-born, UK-based conceptual multidisciplinary artist
Oluwafunke Saka is a Nigerian-born, UK-based conceptual multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, mixed media, and installation. With a background in pharmacy and a master’s degree in fine art, her work reflects a dual commitment to healing—where medicine restores the body, art becomes medicine for the heart and soul. Her art explores the intersections of mental health, spirituality, identity, and transformation, using abstraction, figuration, and layered symbolism to evoke both personal and collective experience. Based in Darlington, her work creates space for emotional connection, reflection, and dialogue, challenging traditional boundaries in contemporary art. For Saka, creating is a deeply introspective and therapeutic act, offering viewers a visual language through which to engage with their own inner worlds.
