He also reflects a lot on two of his artistic idols – Nigerian artist Arinze Stanley and Italian master Michelangelo
The most famous artwork that Olamilekan created is called “Daily Bread”
It depicts a person eating in sweat and tears
“My family, we work hard before we put food in our mouths, before we eat,” explains Kareen

Although Kareen is using social media for not that long
He’s already counting almost 38k followers on Instagram* who are stunned by his artworks
