ENOCH CHINWEUBA

Born in 1997 Kano, Nigeria. Enoch Chinweuba is a contemporary visual artist and illustrator from Enugu, Nigeria, working as a traditional painter and illustrator professionally since 2015; well known for his rich, unique colours and poignant figures. He started his artistic journey from his household, contributing to professional creative work in an art-stringed family of five. Having started digitally illustrating just at the age of 10, it was almost inevitable to stray from a career as a professional artist.

Already showing high artistic qualities, in 2014 after a couple of failed attempts at college education, he decided to focus and nurture his natural talents in the fine arts by drawing portraits of his family and friends and going on to develop a career as a figurative painter and illustrator while completely being prolific at both.

He lives and works out of the capital of Nigeria, Abuja, where he dedicates his work to curating conversations around healing, faith and culture. Three themes which his life has been largely surrounded by. Healing as a theme was expressed first through his own personal experience of loss and how character is formed through that. Faith as the cloak healing is cradled in. And culture, which he is ever so curious about.

Through his emerging career he has been part of several international art exhibitions and part of major collections and exciting publications for his illustration work. Some of these include; Visage group show, Chilli Art Projects, London 2022. Batra Family Collection (The Great Banyan), India 2023, Collection EW, Germany 2023, Illustrations for Dubai Cares; The Write TheFuture Project with Okadabooks 2021. Illustration for the Magnum Ice-cream ad co-creator Barry Yusufu. 2022. Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art Online Auction, 2022. Artsy Foundations 2024 with Janet Rady Fineart.
