We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Naomi Oladotun. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Naomi below.
Naomi, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
I’ve learned that creativity grows when I remove pressure. I give myself room to play, to make things that don’t need to be perfect, and to follow instincts that feel curious or experimental.
I’m always collecting small fragments a line of thought, a colour from a dream, a feeling I can’t name yet and those fragments often become seeds for bigger work.
Most importantly, I honour rest. My work is emotionally layered, and I can’t create from an empty or overwhelmed place. When I pause, go inward, or step away, I return with more clarity and a deeper sense of purpose.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’m a multidisciplinary artist, who works mainly in painting, drawing, and weaving. My practice explores memory, emotion, love making and healing, using colour, texture, and line to translate inner experiences into visual form. I’m excited by the intimacy of the process how a feeling or fragment of memory becomes something tangible. I’m currently expanding my textile and weaving work and developing pieces that blend with visual elements. Overall, my art is about creating tender, reflective spaces where people can find pieces of their own stories.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities that shaped my journey are Emotional awareness, Curiosity and Experimental and Patience. Learning to understand my emotions helped me create honest work, staying Curious pushed me to explore different mediums, and Patience taught me to trust my own pace.
My advice for beginners is to pay attention to their inner world, experiment freely, and grow gently without comparison.
How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client is someone who values emotion,and intention in art. They’re drawn to work that feels intimate, reflective, and textured pieces that hold memory and sensation, not just aesthetics or because it’s beautiful and colorful. I connect best with clients who trust the process, appreciate slow and thoughtful creation, and are open to the subtle, quiet beauty in painting, drawing, and woven work.
More than anything, the ideal client is someone who wants art that resonates personally something they can return to and continue discovering over time.
