About Nwosu Ugonna Christopher:
Tell us about your artistic background and experience. What led you to pursue art as a creative outlet?:
My artistic background started when I was in 100 level in the higher institution (Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri Imo State), when we were all told to do a free hand sketch drawing of a moulded sculpture in front of arts and design department, and from that exercise, I became Interested in arts and my experience through the journey of drawing arts was awesome, because I am always excited whenever I am about to draw. What led me to pursue art is that it speaks so many things through drawing, (because a picture is enough to describe many words) and at the end of the day you are being patronized by people buying it from you.
What inspires you as an artist? Are there specific themes or subjects that you find yourself drawn to?:
What inspired me was my first portrait art drawing I did and I found out that if I add more effort and energy, it will be more better, so whenever I watch Professional artist drawing online, I am inspired to draw like them, so what I do is to pick up my pencil, set up my drawing board and paper and start drawing, following thier method of drawing, which I end up achieving better results in the drawings day by day. Yes there are specific themes and subject I found myself drawn to, and it is drawing of human portrait art.
