Damola’s art is a mix of impressionism, lined figures, object infusion and abstracted human figures. He often combines male and female bodies in his work, using them to tell stories whose themes center around degradation of values and cultural disregard, particularly as it relates to how society priotizes the need to gain wealth and status, regardless of how it is gained. He tells stories of how society values appearance over performance.
