Victor Onyemuwa

My name is Victor Enyinnaya Onyemuwa, a self-taught hyperrealistic visual artist born in 2001 in Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. My passion for art began in elementary school, where I stood out for my exceptional talent in fine art and crafts.

I believe art is an innate part of who I am. My journey as an artist has been shaped by practical experience, self-guided study, and learning through trial and error. I’ve drawn inspiration from studying the works of renowned artists, which has honed my ability to create intricate, photorealistic pieces.

I specialize in pencil and ballpoint pen drawings, capturing fine details and textures with precision. My work reflects a deep dedication to the craft, and I currently create from my studio in Abia State, Nigeria.

I am a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. While my academic background is rooted in engineering, my artistic journey has been shaped by years of dedicated self-teaching. I have honed my craft through practice, experimentation, and studying the works of master artists. This unique combination of technical precision and creative passion informs my hyperrealistic pencil and pen drawings.
