Timi Kakandar is a Nigerian artist based in Lagos. He received early studio training under painter Jubilee Owei in the 1990s.

Working in oil and acrylic, Kakandar builds textured surfaces through dense pigment layering and palette-knife construction. His recent work examines ceremonial dress and material exchange, treating figuration as a structured form and compositional rhythm rather than narrative depiction.

In 2021, he was featured in Saatchi Art’s “Next Generation of Master Artists” (USA). His work is held in the public collection of the National Museum, Lagos, and has been presented internationally, including at the Harlem Fine Arts Show (New York).
