About the artist
Charles Achibi, born in 1981 in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, is more than a multidisciplinary artist—he is a perceptive observer of the human condition, exploring the tensions between memory, identity, and transformation through his distinctive visual language. A graduate of the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he specialized in painting and drawing, Charles’s practice fluidly combines fine art, illustration, and graphic design.
Achibi’s work traverses figuration and abstraction, marked by luminous colour palettes, iridescent textures, and a deep sensitivity to materiality and form. Drawing on his roots in minimalist design, he creates compositions that are both formally precise and emotionally resonant. His themes span personal and collective memory, political awareness, cultural narratives, and environmental concerns—each rendered through a layered, experimental approach that reflects the evolving landscape of contemporary African art.
His work has been featured in key exhibitions such as Arts and Health (WHO); Life in My City (Alliance Française). His artistic achievements include the First Prize Merit at the National Visual Art Competition by the National Gallery of Art (2008); Graphic Designer of the Year award (2015). His artworks are held in private collections across Nigeria, France, the Netherlands, and the United States—affirming his growing reputation in the international contemporary art scene. Today, he continues to live and work in Kaduna, Nigeria, where his studio serves as a space for experimentation, cultural expression, and visual storytelling.
