Konboye Eugene predominantly works with discarded flip flops that he obtains from drainages and dumping grounds. His choice of material and colorful palette is deeply rooted in his training at Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State, where he graduated with distinction in painting. The technique he employs largely depends on the size of the piece he works on. For large pieces, Konboye pastes solid flip flops onto canvases using glue and grout before stitching them for permanence and endurance. When working with small canvases, he cuts the flip flops into tesserae before pasting them onto canvas without stitching.

Kent Onah’s teachings had a significant impact on Konboye as they encouraged exploration of unconventional materials and recycling of solid wastes to manage environmental degradation. In 2016, under Wallace Ejoh’s guidance at Universal Studios of Art, Konboye received further training. He was also a resident artist with Omooba Yemisi Shyllon Art Foundation (OYASAF) in 2019 and was selected among other mosaic artists around the world for the International Mosaic Symposium held in Patagonia.

Konboye has been interviewed by various media outlets including Reuters, BBC, Agence France-Presse (AFP), Ruptly regarding his work as an artist who uses recycled materials to create stunning art pieces that promote environmental sustainability, his works have also been collected and exhibited both nationally and internationally.
