meet BALA
CREATIVE PERSON
Hi! I’m Balafaama, a self-taught multidisciplinary artist from Nigeria, now based in the UK. My art began as a way to express emotions when words couldn’t, and it’s been my passion ever since! I love experimenting with different mediums, using vibrant colours and bold strokes to tell stories. My work has been featured in exhibitions and galleries around the world. I’m open to commissions and collaborations, and I’m also looking to slowly transition into design.
