Ife Kalejaiye (b. 1997, Ondo State, Nigeria) is a self-taught contemporary artist whose emotionally charged figurative work explores the complex intersections between thought, mood, and memory. Deeply inspired by personal experiences and his surrounding environment, Ife’s practice is grounded in a deep emotional intuition — translating quiet reflection into vibrant visual storytelling.

"I create Paintings that feel like moments suspended in time. Through subtle gesture, colour and scale. I question what is revealed in stillness, positioning painting as a space for emotional speculation and quiet intensity"
