Shyllon Museum

Lateef Olajumoke (b. 1982) was a talented Nigerian artist known for his deep passion for artistic practice and his exploration of its possibilities through abstract representational art. Hailing from Lagos, his work reflects a thoughtful engagement with form, emotion, and everyday experience.

In this contrast, we can see both the consequences of pollution and the hopeful beauty that emerges when we support and restore a greener, healthier world- We withness as vibrant flowers and green vines gradually envelop the bottles, the artwork captures nature’s quiet resilience. Humidity, heat, and time begin to alter the plastic’s surface, fading and discoloring it, while life continues to flourish around it.

The courtesy visit of our Museum Advisory Board and Management to the Grand Donor and Chairman of the Museum Supervisory Council, Prince Yemis Shyllon, was filled with meaningful conversations, renewed commitment, and deep appreciation for the vision that continues to shape the museum’s mission.

His generosity and leadership remain at the heart of our work, inspiring us to preserve, celebrate, and share Africa’s artistic heritage with greater dedication.

We are grateful—and motivated to do even more.
