Johnson Ocheja.

Excellent, powerful portraits by Nigerian artist Johnson Ocheja.

Ocheja employs a distinct style in his artistic creations, utilizing blue pigment and impasto techniques executed with his fingers to produce a distinctive, textured effect. This approach to painting is inspired by the practice of scarification, a cultural tradition prevalent among African communities. Through his portraits, Ocheja seeks to promote a heightened awareness of black consciousness and to celebrate black beauty.

Ocheja's background has been shaped by his experiences living in two different Nigerian states - he was born in Kogi State, and moved to Kaduna State at the age of three. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Statistics from Kogi State University, he has continued to reside in Kaduna State. By reflecting upon the cultural, political, religious, ethnic, and racial issues that are of significance to his community, Ocheja utilizes his art as a means to address and raise awareness of these important topics.

The Journey To Purpose

“Unclench your shoulders, take a deep breath. Remind yourself, you are here for a reason. Even if you don’t know what it is yet, just know that it is beautiful.”
