Photography
Ruth Agbolade is a multi-disciplinary visionary artist whose work embodies a deep connection to spirituality, biblical narratives, and the transformative power of faith. With an artistic style that blends vibrant, mosaic-like patterns and abstract forms, she creates compelling pieces that are rich in symbolism and storytelling. Her work often draws from biblical themes, reimagining well-known stories with a modern, abstract twist. Her use of bold colors and intricate designs conveys a sense of hope, redemption, and divine purpose.
