Yusuf Dongo is a multidisciplinary artist from Ìjẹ̀bú-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, whose work bridges heritage, sustainability, and identity.

Known for his United Kingdom-based practice, he transforms discarded materials into monumental sculptures that celebrate tradition while reimagining it for the modern world.

His practice is rooted in the philosophy of turning trash into treasure. Using scrap metal and automobile parts, he creates works that are symbolic, culturally resonant, and environmentally conscious.

Through his art, Yusuf demonstrates that heritage preservation and environmental sustainability are not opposing forces. They are complementary paths to creating meaningful cultural impact.
