Adeshope Awarun, an artist and material engineer, is a graduate of the University of Lagos, Akoka, Nigeria. His art journey started at the age of seven, and he took the leap after exposure to Nigerian artists of the likes of Kevin Okafor and Laolu Senbanjo, who've proven the viability of African artistry.

Awarun works with graphite, charcoal and pen, creating hyper realist and abstract pieces. He developed his technique scribbling with pen, putting overtime into his commissions and personal pieces.
