Deborah Segun is a multidisciplinary artist whose inspiration stems from her personal and shared experiences as a woman, as well as observations of spaces she occupies. She captures these experiences through her unique and experimental use of colours and shapes, and exaggerates the figures or displaces them, as she believes it is her way of confronting reality. She also likes to isolate shapes from the subjects/objects and put them together to create a new composition. Segun has a degree in Fashion Design from the Polimoda Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing, Florence (2017). During her studies in fashion, she translated her art production into clothing, creating conceptual and sculptural wearable pieces. Her recent solo exhibition Being Free took place at SMO Contemporary Art, Lagos (2020).
