So we could say Art is life but creativity is its beauty. Abinoro Akporode Collins who is the owner of Art collins handle on Instagram is a great artist with special skills in sculpture and drawing. Akporode Collins is a multidisciplinary artist, but the work he is most renowned for is his interesting and unusual sculptures made from a rather unimaginable material, spoons and forks; yes the ones you eat with.
Born in 1984 in Nigeria, the young Nigerian attended the school of Arts and Designs and a graduate of Sculpture from Auchi Polytechnic, Nigeria.
Collins as popularly known said he was challenged one day by his art lecturer to create a sculpture using unconventional materials. What arose out of this art prompt were magnificent sculptures of the natural world all made out of spoons, metal chains and junk materials.

According to him,”I am most honored to be gifted in been able to create, awaken consciousness, to question, and proffer answers as well as create new conversations while documenting my existence. But one of the most power emotion I wake up to daily is living with art. Locked within my cubicle I can travel amidst the cosmic, I find peace from within; sometimes experience battles happening around the world. I reflect, I fight and make peace. Living with art is a whole different experience.”
