About the Item
Innocent Chikezie (Nigerian, born 1982)
"Her Eyes" 2022
Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the bottom right of the painting.
In "Her Eyes", Innocent Chikezie’s bold use of color and texture creates an intense, almost surreal portrait that captures both the external and internal worlds of the subject. The vivid greens and blues that define her face are not simply a representation of skin tone but an exploration of identity, emotion, and depth. The striking contrast between the bright blue background and the vibrant facial features accentuates the intensity of the gaze, drawing the viewer into the subject's quiet strength and determination.
The fluid brushstrokes and abstract rendering of the figure suggest movement and transformation, as though the artist is capturing not just a moment but the essence of the person—her power, her complexity, and her presence in the world. The use of white in the eyes and the red lips add a sharp contrast to the rest of the face, directing attention to the focal points of the painting, while the gold hoop earrings hint at subtle elegance and cultural richness.
About the Artist:
Innocent Chikezie is an artist who harnesses the beauty of colors to create a certain brilliance in his work that portrays the graceful ambiance of African culture. Using his dexterity and ability to blend colors, he recreates the dynamic of rural life against a backdrop of indigenous African landscapes. But it wasn’t until he left Nigeria for the UK, that he had a dramatic culture shock. The resulting nostalgia empowered him to find solace in traditional paintings that embodied the essence of his native land.
He earned an MA in Fine Arts from the School of Art and Design, Nottingham Trent University, UK. Chikezie’s works have been featured in exhibitions in Nottingham City Council and earned features in the Nottingham newspaper. He has also been interviewed by BBC Nottingham radio, after which some UK magazine companies began publishing his paintings in their catalogs. His paintings express a profound appreciation for his ancestral roots. They are greatly influenced by a desire to showcase African culture, beauty, and lifestyle in immersive scenes captured on canvas using acrylics and oil.
Chikezie lives in Nigeria and his artwork has been exhibited in a number of art galleries. He is also a member of various art societies like: The Portrait Society of America, SAA Britain, and the Society of Nigerian Artists.

I’m Different 3
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
“In Africa, Yoruba land to be precise where I grew up the nourishing attitude of Omoluwabi, our facial looks is been used to define us as a person, a guy with ear piercing and dreadlocks on his head being looked at as a thug, frauds tars, and so on,
Meanwhile, these guys are a cool and calm-hearted person
Though there are guys like these that are truly counted in the act not all of them are like that
Good and God fearing youth still exist”

You should not retreat but prevail by standing tall. As you get older, life becomes more challenging. Life is always full of expectations. Never dwell in the past, but Embrace the present and look into the future...
