Which innovative techniques does Shola Ajibade use in his digital sketchbook collages?

Shola Ajibade explores a mix of digital sketching and collage to create layered, dreamlike pieces like “ANGEL GIRL” and his “wall collage” series.

Some innovative techniques include:

• Blending hand‑drawn digital sketches with photographic textures and cut‑out shapes
• Using bold color blocking and gradients to create mood and depth
• Overlaying multiple imagery layers to form symbolic, story‑driven compositions
• Playing with scale and cropping for a surreal, poster-like feel
