Olasubomi Aka-Bashorun
For Ola, art is more than creating aesthetic images. It is about releasing emotions that are hard to let go: one’s deepest desires, anger, frustrations, and lust. It’s about expressing the good, the bad, and ugly. It’s about finding solution, discovering yourself, and escaping. Art is therapy. Art is poetry in a different medium. It’s about solving the problems of today, bringing light to the darkness and finding truth in the lies. It is about resolve: “My vision is to not only create beautiful and aesthetic works of art but to introduce and express my thoughts, and feelings. My intention is to connect with others using art to evoke strong emotions and get them to feel.”
Olasubomi Nurudeen Aka-Bashorun was born in Lagos Nigeria, and grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma. Before making Nashville his home, he was a student athlete at Oklahoma Baptist University, where he double majored in family psychology and studio art.
