Ekemmiri is a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist whose work explores memory, identity, and ancestral continuity through sculpture, relief, and painting. Rooted in Igbo heritage, his art is deeply influenced by indigenous visual traditions, spiritual symbolism, and the everyday textures of West African life.
Ekemmiri’s creative journey bridges contemporary expression with the timeless essence of cultural memory. His sculptures and reliefs often depict figures from oral history, maritime life, and traditional rites—imbued with bold forms and tactile surfaces that speak to both past and present.
Working in media such as acrylic, oilsticks, carved wood, and mixed materials, Ekemmiri’s practice is driven by a commitment to preserve and reimagine African narratives through visual form. His work invites viewers into layered stories—of survival, spirit, and the quiet strength of the ordinary.
Ekemmiri has exhibited in solo and group shows, and his works feature in private and public collections. Beyond the studio, he is passionate about cultural education and community-based creativity, using his art to connect people to forgotten truths.
Beyond the canvas, we are committed to community-centered creativity and cultural education. Our work extends into collaborative projects, workshops, and exhibitions that reconnect people with forgotten truths and shared heritage. Through art, we invites audiences to engage with the richness, resilience, and evolving identity of the African experience.
