"My name is Agoreyo Oke, I am a delta born Artist based in Nigeria.  My interests and practices straddle different fields of the art profession. I love manipulating and converting wastes like papers and biscuit wraps to priceless works of art that I call it COLLAGE."

Introduction

"My desire as a collage artist is to communicate with my viewers using waste materials, most especially papers. I try to capture beauty around my immediate environment using papers of different colours considered waste by the general public as I believe waste is beauty everywhere but only appreciated in the eyes of the beholder." ~ Agoreyo Oke, Collage Artist, Nigeria

I enjoyed drawing right from a very tender age as I guess that was one of the things that brought me this far as an artist even with the intense discouragement I got from my parents from going through that line, I still kept the dream and zeal alive. :)

As an Artist, What are You Passionate About?

"I would say am an art freak or do I say a collage freak..loll..sometimes, I just wish I could just sit all by my self alone in this world collaging..I see collage as my own means of expressing my feelings , to me its an adventurous medium that takes you far off from what any other medium can do.its my own defination of ART. I think more,feel more and explore more when collaging as. Cutting those papers into bits and pasting them makes me feel relaxed..I guess that's why I earned the name THE COLLAGE ARTIST." -via Mobile text
