Ini Oluwa (Inioluwa Aboluwarin) is a self-taught Nigerian visual artist, born in 1994. 

 

Through years of experimentation since embarking on his full-time career in 2016, he has developed an affinity for both abstraction and figurative realism, working primarily with acrylic on canvas.​

 

Inspired by the latent power of mind, and passionate about the power of individualism; Ini's works are characterized by bold artworks of figures on complex backgrounds, and his frequent infusion of poetry & abstract expressionist depths.

​

Ini Oluwa is largely influenced by the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand, and the "Abstraktes Bild" paintings of Gerhard Richter.

​​

His work has been showcased in numerous local and international exhibitions. His debut solo exhibition, Fountainhead, which held in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2023, featured an impressive collection of 100 paintings, making a bold statement in the art world.
