Ofobuike Okudoh is a pen and ink illustrator born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1992 , who speaks through  ethereal lines, patterns and rich texture. After 4 years of extensive studies in Accounting, he decided to chase his creative dreams in France where he swiftly integrated into the culture and successfully completed his studies in Fashion design. Identity has always been a pertinent subject, as his first exhibition 'Imprimé identifié' ( identity prints) expressed rich prints with reference to textile art . Wearable art as it concerns tackling fast fashion is also one of his fortes.

Artist Statement
Lines , layered scribbles , patterns - These are the main avenues  through which life emanates from my delicate but profound pen , ink , and oil pastel illustrations.
The mystery that surrounds human ( female notably) anatomy coupled with the richness of my Nigerian(Igbo,Yoruba and Benin) heritage further pushes the boundaries
as regards the elements of my illustrations. When ink meets paper, a sense of belonging manifests and consequently gives rise to innate tranquility.Spirituality, African
masquerades, beauty of afro hair, tribal scarifications and the erasure of societal & racial standards of beauty are the most pertinent subject matters that influence my
medium of portraying the art of lines and illustrations.
