An artist is going viral with his incredible sculptures made from cutlery! Meet Abinoro Akporode Collins.
Lagos, Nigeria (29 August 2022) – An artist is going viral on social media with his incredible sculptures made from cutlery.
The man behind the sculptures is Abinoro Akporode Collins, born in 1984 in the small town of Agbarho in Delta state, Nigeria and schooled in the same town before moving to the School of Art and Design in Edo State, Nigeria.
Inspired by his father’s belief that artists are less successful in life, Collins is driven to make his art count and use it as a universal language of communication, documentation, education, and peace.
Collins is a prolific painter and sculptor who draws inspiration from his environment, from human to animal figures, often trying to convey human experience and deep soul content in his art. His immediate everyday life is always a subject of his work using it to pass deep messages and issues.
“History is better told in the eyes of the art; the art of yesterday is a clue of who we are, and the art of today is a picture of generation yet unborn.”
