Eric Jnr Okafor

Eric jnr Okafor is a Nigerian visual artist and writer whose practice explores emotion, identity, memory, resilience, and the complexity of human experience.

Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media, Eric is drawn to expressive forms, layered textures, movement, and colour. His work often moves between abstraction and recognisable human experiences, allowing emotion to become the central language of the artwork.

His artistic practice is deeply influenced by Nigerian culture, personal observation, human relationships, and the quiet psychological experiences that shape everyday life. Rather than simply illustrating an idea, Eric uses art as a way of asking questions, processing emotions, and creating space for viewers to interpret their own experiences.
