Founder/Creative Director
Bola Olusanya (12.September.1999) is a Nigerian-American Artist & Designer. Olusanya was born in Houston, Texas, to immigrant parents from West Africa, making him a first-generation Nigerian American.
Olusanya draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources, weaving together the worlds of literature, film, architecture, and music. History and anthropology inform his understanding of the human experience, while fiction and imagination breathe life into his creations, imbuing them with a grand, larger-than-life quality. Each influence harmonizes within his work, creating a symphony that resonates with depth, creativity, and a profound connection to the past and future.
At the core of his philosophy are the three pillars of his art of living: Life, Art, and Business. Life encompasses the uncontrollable forces that shape our existence before birth, throughout our journey, and beyond our departure—it is the backdrop against which everything unfolds. Art represents the unbridled freedom of emotion, ego, and expression, serving as a sanctuary where he can release his true essence and unique perspective without restraint. Business, in contrast, embodies structure and organization, grounding his endeavors in concrete, decisive actions that bring his visionary ideas to fruition.
Olusanya holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio, which has honed his skills in marketing, branding, and overall business acumen. Currently, he is furthering his education by pursuing a Master's degree in Industrial Design in Japan, aiming to deepen his expertise and expand his creative horizons.
