Oluwafunke Saka is a Nigerian-born, UK-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves fluidly between painting, mixed media, and installation. With a background in pharmacy and a master’s degree in fine art, she brings an uncommon balance of precision and intuition to her work—where science meets spirit, and structure yields to emotion.

Her practice explores themes of mental health, spirituality, identity, and transformation. Merging abstraction and figuration, she creates symbolic, emotionally resonant pieces that function as both personal therapy and offering. Through recurring motifs of colour tension, thread, and layered forms, her work examines the quiet negotiations of power—especially within the female experience—and the healing that can emerge from vulnerability.

Born in Nigeria, Saka’s transition from medicine to art was not a departure but an evolution of purpose. Her experience as a pharmacist continues to shape her approach in a methodical yet deeply intuitive way, bridging the body and the soul.

Saka has participated in several group exhibitions across the UK, and her works are held in both private and public collections. She has been recognised for her ability to weave personal introspection into universal narratives, creating spaces of reflection and restoration for her audience.

Beyond the studio, she is passionate about art’s capacity to heal and connect. Her ongoing projects centre around care, community, and spiritual renewal, extending her belief that art—like medicine—holds the power to mend what we cannot always name.

Her most recent exhibition, “The Quiet Command” (2025), continues this exploration: a meditation on restraint, resolve, and grace, inviting viewers to embrace strength not in volume, but in vibration.
