Born in Auchi, Adulphina Imuede is a Nigerian artist.
She got interested in drawing from an early age and that made her decide to study visual arts at the University: she graduated from the Univerity of Lagos (where she moved with her family years before) in 2016, majoring in painting.
Imuede still lives in Lagos, where she works as a full-time artist.
She stated: “I create conceptual paintings inspired by an array of experiences and memories. My approach to artistic expression is illustrative as well as interpretative through a series of surreal and stylized portraits denoting beauty and emotions as manifestations of ideas, dreams, identity, and existence. I lay emphasis on the human head as the cradle of conscious, unconscious, and subconscious through processes inherent in every single person which hold spirituality and perceptions of the physical and metaphysical.”
Imuede works mostly with watercolor, ink, and acrylic.
