Kayode Malomo is an multimedia and multi-talented Artist and Creative Director of MalomsyArt Gallery & Collection, a physical and online art gallery based in Philadelphia and York, Pennsylvania, USA.

Kayode weaves themes that oscillate around a game play of light and shadow, expressing strong versatility in oil, airbrushing, collage and mixed media. Bright colors painstakingly weave together in Malomo’s “light into life” themes. His paintings often feature themes that depict happiness, hope, beauty and the importance of education.
