Kofo Nolla-Omidiran, also known as O'Knolla, is a British-Nigerian artist and designer based in West London.

 

"My art is a celebration of culture, history, and storytelling—rooted in my Nigerian heritage and inspired by the ancient Nsibidi language.

Nsibidi is more than just a writing system; it’s a visual code packed with history, identity, and a little bit of mystery!

It was a way for communities to communicate, connect, and express their shared narratives.

​

I see my work as a playful remix of that legacy. The markings I create aren’t exact translations but modern interpretations of something ancestral, flowing through me in ways that feel both subconscious and intentional.

 It’s part spiritual vibe, part creative release, and all about blending tradition with a modern twist.

​

My art’s all about letting you decide what the symbols mean.

Maybe one sparks a memory, feels a bit spiritual, or just catches your eye in a way you can’t explain. It’s open. It’s playful. It’s meant to be explored, interpreted, and felt in your own way"
