MOJEREOLA AWAL ISHOLA (A.I. MOJEREOLA)
Visual Artist | Sculptor | Wood Carver

I Mojereola Awal Ishola I'm Nigerian visual artist, sculptor, and wood carver from Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. I'm a Fine and Applied Arts student whose practice explores social, cultural, moral, and spiritual issues through painting, sculpture, wood carving, fiberglass, mixed media, and other experimental forms.

Rooted in Yoruba culture and African heritage, I draws inspiration from everyday life, cultural traditions, human relationships, motherhood, leadership, faith, morality, and social challenges. My works often combine symbolism and storytelling to communicate ideas that encourage viewers to reflect on society and their own responsibilities.

As a wood carver and sculptor, I particularly interested in developing a distinctive artistic language that connects traditional African visual culture with contemporary art. My approach is centered on craftsmanship, meaning, and the ability of art to educate, challenge, and inspire.

I believes that art is a light to the world—a means of communicating ideas, preserving culture, questioning social realities, and inspiring positive change. My long-term goal is to build a recognizable artistic identity and share my work with audiences and collectors in Nigeria and internationally.
