Chinemerem Omeh

Chinemerem Omeh is a Nigerian artist, born in Enugu, Nigeria. He holds a BA in fine and applied arts from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he majored as a painter. Currently based in Atlanta, Georgia, US.

Omeh started drawing and painting at the age of five. Unable to fully read and write, drawing naturally became a means to express himself. He found a voice and identity in drawing and painting.

His yearning for change amidst harsh realities makes expressing affliction, hope, unity, and love inevitable in his work. His artistic dispositions were met with dissuasion from peers, teachers, and his parent because, to become an artist was a very difficult way to earn a decent living. That dissuasion only made his love of art stronger and has informed it.
