THE    JUDGES

Engr. Jude Jay Olotu
Jude’s creative passion led him to study Engineering, but his artistic passion began early inspired by the vibrant colours of nature in the rain forests of the Niger Delta and the lush savannah of the middle belt region of Nigeria.
 
Jude Olotu has since reinvented himself as a painter with mercurial techniques that free the mind to explore.  His mastery in the fields of engineering, music, sports and poetry is reflected in the variety of techniques expressed in his paintings.
