Paul Ayokhai, MGHR
Paul Osilama Ayokhai, a vibrant soul hails from the rich tapestry of Nigeria, was born, August 06th, 1966, amidst the enchanting landscapes of Ogun State. His roots, firmly entwined in the fertile soil of Etsako West, Edo State, granted him a deep connection to the cultural heart of his homeland.
As an artist, he embarked on a profound journey to explore the depths of human expression. His artistic odyssey commenced at Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State: awarded Ordinary National Diploma in General Arts in 1990, where he honed his craft...he ascended to greater heights, earning the prestigious Higher National Diploma in Paintings in 1993.
For a time, he served as a beacon of inspiration, sharing his knowledge and passion with young minds. He illuminated the path of creativity as a dedicated teacher of Paintings and Drawings at Kogi State Polytechnic, situated in the heart of Lokoja, Kogi State. His legacy there undoubtedly kindled the flames of artistic exploration in many budding talents.
Today, his artistic sanctuary resides within the hallowed halls of POAARTSTUDIOS, Onibuku-Ota, Ogun State, where, every stroke of his brush, palette knives and each hue upon his palette tell stories of vivid emotion and profound insight. His canvases are the sacred vessels through which he communicates with the divine, an interaction with The Creator that transcends words and flows through his fingertips onto the world's stage.
Paul Ayokhai's vision is an opulent tapestry of colours, a symphony of feelings, and a gallery of images that reflect the intricate structures of our existence. His art is not merely a visual feast but a profound message, an eloquent language where the profound and the subtle converge to create a harmonious dialogue between artist and beholders. With each artworks, he invites you to listen, to feel, to see, to touch and to immerse yourself in the ineffable beauty of his world—a world where artwork speaks volumes, where his soul whispers in every brushstroke, palette knives and resonates in every stroke of colours.
Artist’s Statement:
"My artistic vision flows through a symphony of colours, evoking emotions, and crafting vivid imagery. The world's intricate structures become my canvas, a sacred dialogue with The Creator. In my art, messages transcend words, and the artwork itself becomes the eloquent messenger. Each strokes, every hue, whispers the profound tales that words cannot tell. My Artwork speaks... transcends boundaries, and connects souls"
