Adebanji simply loves sketching, which he is very passionate at doing almost every single day of the week, he can be seen sketching while using the public transport in London.

He has a real love for people and places; these are the themes that often show up in his work. He is either capturing the effect of light on people, their beauty, their moods and what they wear. While with the places he is inspired by architecture, the effect of light and shade on urban scenes, the interaction of the organic elements and the inorganic elements of a particular place. He is also an ardent lover of plein air painting.

Adebanji depicts paintings that represent his African Background and he celebrates this in full explosive colour!

He is also an avid urban sketcher, teacher, motivational speaker, illustrator and photographer.
