Nigerian man Abinoro Collins uses spoons to create beautful artworks, goes viral

After a young Nigerian man, Emmanuel, drew American pop star, DJ Khaled with a pencil, showing great facial details, you would think you have seen it all.

Another citizen of the nation, Abinoro Akporode Collins, wowed internet users after his works resurfaced online, drawing comments from many.

Simple cutleries like spoons form the main material for his artworks. He uses them to create whatever art he wants.

In some of his pictures on Instagram, he displayed amazing pieces like an eagle, human portraits, among other great works.

Abinoro was born in 1984 and graduated with distinction from the Auchi School of Art and has since exhibited his works in both Nigeria and UAE.

Zee Arts Gallery noted that birds are always a subject in his works as he also gives expressions to many life issues.

According to Design Indaba, the Nigerian man discovered his talent when he was young, a passion which made him pursue his interest in arts.

“As a sculptor, a major challenge as a Nigerian is poor power supply resulting in the artist spending more money running generators,” he said.

Despite the odds stacked against him, Abinoro is still creating arts that have never ceased to amaze people.
