Yadichinma Ukoha-Kalu is a self-taught experimental artist and illustrator based in Lagos.

Her artistic practice revolves around the exploration of line, form, space, and boundaries, expressed through painting, drawing, sculpture, film, and digital platforms. She constantly creates multidimensional environments that fuse abstract elements, textures, and materials, generating dynamic interactions within her work.

Continuously pushing the limits of her practice, she actively participates in panel discussions and recently spoke at the 2022 Africa NXT event. Her creative talents have also earned her commissions from prominent institutions such as the Goethe Institute, the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA Lagos), and Art X Lagos.

Beyond her artistic activities, Yadichinma is deeply interested in creative education, archiving, preservation, and the dissemination of artworks and interactive experiences. She often invites her audience to embark on intellectual journeys with her, encouraging engagement through dialogue and active participation. Yadichinma’s creative spirit is fueled by her fascination with processes and the genesis of phenomena. This curiosity permeates her approach to life and the environment, which she explores with childlike wonder and insatiable curiosity. She firmly believes that objects, regardless of their complexity, harbor their own unique and complex universes and systems.
