Paschal UGWU
Paschal UGWU, born in 1996 in Orba, Nigeria, is an artist based in Abuja.
He earned his Fine Arts degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Specializing in expressive figurative painting, Paschal works primarily with acrylic on canvas. His art is known for its unconventional figures with exaggerated eyes, capturing personal stories, human emotions, and societal themes. Paschal has showcased his work in exhibitions like 'Uplifted Spirits,' attended the Rele Bootcamp residency, and featured in Plus 234 Art Fair. In 2023, he was also a finalist for the prestigious Kuenyehia Art Prize.
”In my art, I strive to capture the emotions and everyday experiences that make us who we are. I use expressive figures to tell stories that reveal the beauty and complexity of life. The large, soulful eyes in my characters are a way to invite viewers to look deeper, beyond the surface, and connect with the emotions and identities that define us all.”
