Ifeoma Igwe

Through colorful expression, Ifeoma explores semi-realism and surrealism through a multicultural, African diasporic lens. Born in Ypsilanti, MI, and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Ifeoma is a life-taught artist and illustrator whose passion was ignited at a young age as she brought characters from her favorite novel series to life. Despite having minimal formal training, her American and Nigerian heritage shapes her creative perspective. Ifeoma delves into a wide array of media—ranging from acrylic painting and traditional illustration techniques to digital media—embodying an interdisciplinary approach to her art. By questioning themes of empathy, adventure, and reflection throughout her creative process, she deepens her understanding of herself while inspiring others to embark on their own journeys of exploration and self-discovery. With an imaginative spirit and a commitment to experimentation in her art, Ifeoma shares artistic worlds from her mind’s eye using vibrant color palettes to inspire others and spark conversation.
