Valerie Nkesi Etitinwo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Valerie Nkesi Etitinwo<\/strong> (b. 1998) is a Nigerian artist born in Geneva, Switzerland. Joining Atelier, Debrot (Geneva) from 2007 -2016 and receiving training and mentorship by professional artist Claire-Lise Debrot. She began to hone her craft and also find new ways of applying her skill through different mediums. Such as pottery, painting, charcoal, and collage. Finding herself drawn to the cubism movement. Valerie got the inspiration that she needed to create \u2018outside the box of realism. \u201cI\u2019ve always admired artists who can draw realistic-looking images because I\u2019ve never been able to do so. In fact, I got frustrated at some point and decided to do the complete opposite\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was this abandonment of rules that helped Valerie find her own style. Using mainly acrylic to depict purported human figures. And warped objects against vividly colored backgrounds. Valerie has participated in different exhibitions. Such as Breakthrough Artist, Artspace Warehouse, California, USA 2022, \u201cAbstraction Taking Shape\u201d, and Kunstwarenhaus Zurich Switzerland 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
