Chukwuemeka Nwagbara ★ ★ ★ | NIGERIAN

The Artist, Emeka Nwagbara is a Nigerian Contemporary Artist whose passion for the Art fuelled his transition from paid employment to full-time studio practice.

His career as a full-time professional Artist was established officially in 2005 when he commenced full-time studio practice. A multimedia artist, Nwagbara works in oil, pastel, pencil and charcoal and most recently acrylic. He has indeed proven that art is a career choice that requires latent talent and continuous development of skills. Nwagbara has over the course of his career painted representational works, and during these periods has taken the opportunity to exhibit his burning desire in expressionist paintings, which sometimes are totally abstract.

Emeka’s restlessness to paint his desire has taken him on a journey that coincides with the cheering reviews on his present paintings -expressionism/abstract. Nwagbara has been engaged in a number of high profile art projects and Art Commissions. His works have been exhibited in several group shows nationally and most recently in California, USA.

Emeka is a member of The Society of Nigerian Artist (SNA). He is a drawing and painting instructor and his works are highly sort after in the area of Pictorial Composition, Portraiture, and most recently expressive paintings.
