Rom Isichei

Rom Isichei, a former graphic artist turned full-time painter, is renowned for his mixed-media paintings that showcase fractured faces in vibrant color combinations. Using palette knives and heavy impasto techniques, Isichei creates a range of emotions on each face, rendered ambiguous by dividing them into overlapping panels. Drawing from his training at the Yaba College of Technology, Isichei’s paintings blend minimalist forms and expressive color manipulation, resulting in sophisticated and energetically charged artworks. His unique style has positioned him as one of the most successful Nigerian artists in recent years.
