"When you don't know who you are, you are afraid of opinions. I am not afraid of opinion because I know who I am. And that opinion is either going to empower, enlighten, or guide me in relation to my vision." From starting out as a child actor to becoming a lawyer, working in sales in the City, falling seriously ill, returning to theatre in the West End, and finding his true calling as a visual artist, London-based international multidisciplinary artist Adebayo Bolaji shares the journey that led him to painting and his philosophy of 'Following the Line' a continual line of someone becoming. By pausing, listening, connecting the dots, and making peace with the past. We talk about being grateful for who you are, the illusion of overnight success, and discuss vision as the source that keeps you true to yourself and propels you forward giving strength and resilience in difficult times. "At first noone is paying attention because who cares about 2,3,4 bricks you're laying down. You don't even see it, you might walk across it. But when you've built the wall people wonder how that got there. And you remind them you've been there for ages. That you live with this thing every day."
