My name is Gloria Olarewaju Iyanuoluwa, professionally known as Gloriaolar. I am a Nigerian contemporary portrait artist based in Ilorin, Kwara State, with roots in the Okun community of Kogi State. I work primarily with oil on canvas and mixed media, exploring identity, emotions, memory, and the human experience.

My work is inspired by my cultural heritage, personal experiences, faith, and facial expressions. I also incorporate my double vision expression into some of my paintings, inspired by how I sometimes see things as double, using my art to bring these visions to life. Through my work, I aim to tell meaningful stories, preserve cultural identity, and evoke emotional connections.
