Toyin Ojih Odutola is known for her detailed multimedia drawings that explore identity and storytelling, focusing on the topography of skin. Using basic materials like pens, pencils, pastels, and charcoal, she creates layered, intricate compositions that reinvent portraiture. Her work is inspired by art history, popular culture, and her own experience as a Nigerian-born artist raised in Alabama. The theme of migration and self-discovery is central to her practice, as she constructs characters and narratives through her art. Recently, she has expanded her focus to include landscapes, architecture, and domestic interiors.
