Born in Kano, Nigeria in 1997, Pascal is a self-taught artist living in and
working from the hills of Abuja, Nigeria. With a Bachelor of Science from the Imo
State University, Nigeria, Pascal’s artistic prowess embodies an innately
unique style of expression, through colorful palettes, varying human expressions
and an exclusive use of foliage, which he remarks to represent his great interest
in the relationship between man and plants. A relationship which captivated his
ever inquisitive mind as a young boy growing up in Ugwu Nchara, Abia State,
Nigeria.
Since venturing into the art space in 2017, Pascal works as a traditional
artist who utilizes a wide range of media; from acrylic, to oil paints, charcoal,
graphite, ink, pastel, salt and candle flame soot. He attempts to express an ideal
relationship between man and nature through figurative paintings embalmed in
telling elements and dreamscapes. He elaborately challenges societal norms and
traditions, while drawing attention to critical life issues.
Pascal is included in several notable private collections, including the Collection Montparnasse in Canada and the Ichooselife Foundation in Nigeria, among others.
