solomon's story
Okeuhie Solomon Chukwuemeka (b. 1996) in Lagos, Nigeria, is a self-taught artist with a background in Polymer Engineering. His artistic journey began at a young age, evolving into a profound passion that led him to forge his own path in the art world.
Living and working in Nigeria, Solomon discovered his deep connection to hyperrealism in 2014 but chose to take an unconventional approach. His portraiture is defined by a striking use of high-contrast, vibrant colors that elevate his subjects into ethereal figures. By deliberately obscuring faces with flowers, he explores themes of identity, erasure, and marginalization, particularly within Black communities. His work is a reflection on culture, resilience, and social awareness—inviting viewers to engage with his subjects not as individuals, but as embodiments of shared histories, experiences, and futures.
Solomon’s work has been featured on platforms such as The Spark Magazine and Asiri Media, and he has exhibited at Vivid Art Gallery and One Art Gallery.
