Hanan of Hanan Artistry started from writing dreams, ideas, suggestions, and prayers to designing notebook covers, sketchpads, bookmarks, and keyholders. Each design is crafted with love by Bamidele Ayomide or, as her audience likes to call her: Hanan of Hanan Artistry, mostly in her department studio or dorm room in the University of Lagos, where she studies Architecture.
Hanan began creating notebook covers in September 2020. “I appreciate paintings, but I could not help but wonder if I could take those paintings off the wall and transfer the design to an item I can acknowledge every day,” Hanan tells Creatives Around Us.
“I want to create functional artworks that have a purpose,” continues Hanan. “I started with notebooks to make my audience understand the value of writing things down, it really goes a long way. I want to let people know it starts with a book filled with dreams.”
The talented bookmarks designer says she gets her craziest ideas after she’s prayed. “My inspiration comes from God.” She says while explaining the reason behind her name. “Hanan means ‘Gracious gift’ in Hebrew.”
