Chinwe Chukwuogo-Roy's talent spans a wide and varied canvas. She captures the essence of her subjects with her life studies in oils and pastels and has earned international recognition. Although the subjects nearest her heart are portraits in oils, the artist also sculpts in clay.
She was born in Eastern Nigeria and obtained her B.A. Hons. degree in Graphic Design in England, after which she moved to painting. Her portraits are based on the traditional method but with a dash of colour that reflects her origin and a 'joie de vivre' that gives them a life of their own.
Chinwe Chukwuogo-Roy's paintings have successfully captured the vibrancy and breadth of the African culture. Her cultural series has picked subjects from the different countries she had visited to produce a panorama of the many aspects of African Life. The Africa - Past, Present, Future series is a critical look at the continents rich history and civilisations bringing the art lover an insight into it's vibrant past.
