About Me
Kanye Tomiwa is a Washington DC-based multidisciplinary artist and architect of Nigerian heritage. He specializes in storytelling by creating abstractions of some of our most intimate and moving memories using wine corks.
Inspired by the belief that every wine cork holds a unique story, he began his practice in 2019 by collecting wine corks from wineries across the United States and crafting deeply nostalgic artistic narratives out of them. His earliest works were initially inspired by his fondest memories from his childhood growing up in Nigeria. However, his practice has now evolved into telling more elaborate stories about cities, people, patriotism and love.
He also runs an Architecture and interior design practice with clients in the United states and Lagos, Nigeria.
