About Stephanie Unaeze

 ARTIST STATEMENT 

Stephanie Unaeze is a Nigerian female Painter and Illustrator who creates wonderful and whimsical, mixed media pieces. She explores themes pertaining to the proverbial self and its place in the society, as the object and as well as the subject. Looking at the self through the lenses of personal relationships, societal realities and self actualisation. With aims to further understand shared and common realities that surpass basic socio normative identities, she acknowledges the constant state of becoming that exists in the natural world as a macrocosm of the self. Through her form, which is likened to the pop surrealist movement, she transverses through the subconscious and unconscious (dreamlike) state of being, but depicts them in both the mundane and the superficial to create striking images.

Stephanie’s work is resonant and reminds viewers that we are divine beings in a nonsensical world. 

She is self trained and hold a bachelors degree from Kwame Nkurumah University of Science and Technology as well as a Continuing Education Certificate from Parsons School of Design
