A full-time studio artist, Chike Onuorah has exhibited his paintings in Nigeria, Senegal, United Kingdom, Germany, Romania, Jamaica, and the United States of America. Onuorah explains that “ The driving force is that instinctive desire to explore and conquer yet another creative possibility. To share with the world an additional experience which will never come into existence unless I engage. The totality of that experience and the joy of the creation, make the journey worthwhile. Every signature rendered on a piece of work, justifies my existence on the planet. This is my passion, my job, my hobby, my life, my everything.”
