Akintomide (b. 1988) is a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist whose practice navigates identity, memory, and the human condition through emotionally charged compositions. Trained in both visual art and filmmaking, his work blends the atmospheric sensibilities of cinematography with the tactile richness of drawing and painting, often using refined charcoal and chiaroscuro techniques to evoke light, depth, and gesture. Akintomide holds a B.Tech in Fine and Applied Arts from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (2011) and a diploma in Filmmaking with a specialization in cinematography (2016). Initially drawn to art through comic illustrations in his youth, he later embraced art as a profession and now works full-time from his Lagos studio. His impressionistic style reflects a deep sensitivity to emotion, movement, and the psychological subtleties of human expression.

His work has been exhibited across Nigeria in both solo and group shows, including Next of Kin (Thought Pyramid, 2018), Future Masters (Mydrim Gallery, 2020), Legacy III (Thought Pyramid, 2023), and The Convergence (Yenwa Gallery, 2024). Akintomide is a member of the Guild of Professional Nigerian Artists and Universal Studios of Art.

Currently, he is expanding his practice from dry media into large-scale painting while deepening thematic inquiries into childhood, masculinity, femininity, and mental health. For Akintomide, each piece is a narrative in motion—an ongoing reflection of existence, emotional vulnerability, and human interconnection.
