Born in 1993 in Lagos, Arinze Stanley Egbengwu’s journey into art has been one of discovery and learning. Despite having a formal background in engineering, his heart has always found solace in the strokes of a pencil and the shades of charcoal. His initial forays into art were simple yet meaningful, shaped by the materials available from his family’s paper business. Inspired by the rich narratives of the Contemporary Black experience, African culture and personal moments of reflection, Arinze’s pieces aim to bridge understanding and foster connections. His approach combines traditional techniques with personal innovations, each piece being a labor of love and patience. As he often says, 'My art is born out of the zeal for perfection in skill, expression, and a devotion to create positive changes in the world.'
