Stephen Fakiyesi

Art that asks the questions the world is afraid to answer.

Stephen Fakiyesi is a conceptual artist whose work lives at the intersection of faith, race, history, and justice — creating visual experiences that don't just hang on walls, but stay in your mind long after you've left the room.

Born in Nigeria. Raised in Canada. Honed by some of the most accomplished artists of the past half century Fakiyesi has spent his career making art that refuses to be comfortable. Through print media installations, participatory performances, and digital works, he explores what it means to be Black, African, and Christian in a world still reckoning with the legacy of colonization. His work doesn't preach. It provokes. It invites. It asks you to sit with questions that matter.

Fakiyesi has exhibited internationally, received the inaugural Bette Midler Scholarship at UCLA's prestigious MFA Visual Arts program, and has been recognized as one of the important voices in African-Canadian contemporary art.

Whether you're an art collector, a curator, a student, or simply someone searching for art that means something — you're welcome here.
