Paschal Ugwu

Paschal Ugwu, born in 1996 in Nsukka, Nigeria, and now based in Abuja, holds a Fine Arts degree from the University of Nigeria. Specialising in contemporary figurative expressionism, he employs mediums like charcoal, pastel, oil, and acrylic on paper and canvas. His distinctive style combines intentional and spontaneous techniques, resulting in emotionally charged figures with exaggerated eyes. Ugwu's artwork delves into personal experiences, human emotions, societal issues, and introspection on the Nigerian human condition. He has participated in an artist residency organised by Rele Gallery. Featured in exhibitions like "The Last Act" and "Run Through Walls," his powerful commentary on life has been recognised in Shoutout Miami and Voyage Houston Magazine.
