Adesakin Mary Damilola
b. 2002 · Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria
Adesakin Mary Damilola is a Nigerian visual artist from Ile-Ife whose practice focuses on thread painting and acrylic. Born in 2002, she explores identity, memory, Yoruba heritage, womanhood, and emotional repair through layered, hand-stitched compositions.
She studied Fine and Applied Arts at Adeyemi College of Education, affiliated to Obafemi Awolowo University, and now works as a full-time artist. For Mary, each stitch is a form of storytelling that invites reflection on emotion, memory, and the legacy we carry.
