Deyele Capit Stylz (with Adebisi Michael as a real name) is a visionary Nigerian creative director, photographer, and master photo editor based in Lagos. He is recognized as a leading voice in Afro-Surrealism, utilizing cutting-edge digital manipulation to translate the complexities of identity, spirituality, and the contemporary African experience into unforgettable visual narratives.
His work is defined by its hyper-stylized aesthetic, often featuring portraits anchored in traditional African textiles that are plunged into intense, textured, and often mythological landscapes. Stylz’s signature is the use of high-contrast, dramatic lighting (frequently emphasizing fiery oranges and deep blacks) and the recurring motif of the uncanny—such as giant spiders and skeletal figures—to expose the absurdity and sublime power of the present moment.
As a highly sought-after professional, Adebisi Michael leverages his expertise in creative direction and sophisticated software (Adobe Suite, DaVinci Resolve) to elevate his fine art from mere photography into conceptual, cinematic mythology. His art challenges viewers to confront the invisible burdens and inherent strength found within the visual language of the African diaspora.
Grapher Capit Stylz, the Nigerian digital artist, contemporary Photographer, fine art photographer and poet who has mastered the art of Afro-Surrealism. He doesn't just edit photos; he builds visual myths. His signature style takes striking portraits, often featuring traditional African cloth, and plunges them into intense, highly textured, dreamlike landscapes filled with symbolic threats—like his massive, glowing spiders. He creates work that is both visually arresting and conceptually profound, forcing viewers to confront the bizarre and powerful reality of the 'right now' in the African diaspora. He is a must-see voice defining the next wave of contemporary African digital art.
