About

My name is Stephanie Tayo. I am an artist and technology enthusiast.

I began my art journey at a very young age and it has been exciting to say the least. The main inspiration behind most of my personal work has alot to do with my identity.
In my own way I use colour to visually express the beauty I see and feel. In future i hope to be more daring and bold in my use of colour as well as the expression of my artwork.

Check out my Art-talk series on instagram and get to know me better as an artist, I go in depth into what my inspiration is and how this all started!

Beyond the canvas, I am fascinated with software development. As a Software developer, I thrive in the dynamic environment of problem-solving and algorithmic thinking.

Paintings

This oil painting was a commission for Zanzibar Restaurant In Geneva,2.5 by 1.5 metres, it took about four months. It is one of the works I am most proud of, maybe because it took more dedication than any of the other paintings.
