About Israel Azuka Okorie:
Tell us about your artistic background and experience. What led you to pursue art as a creative outlet?:
I started drawing from a young age. It became my way to express ideas and emotions that words couldn’t capture. Drawing makes me feel free and creative.
What inspires you as an artist? Are there specific themes or subjects that you find yourself drawn to?:
I’m inspired by everyday life—faces, nature, people, and emotions. I love capturing details that tell a story.
What do you hope to communicate or evoke through your art? Is there a specific message or emotion that you strive to convey to your audience?
Through my drawings, I want people to feel connected, inspired, and encouraged whether it’s peace, joy, or reflection.
Are there any particular artists or art movements that have influenced your work? How have they shaped your artistic perspective?
Yes, Nigerian artists like Bruce Onobrakpeya, Nike Davies-Okundaye, and Ben Enwonwu inspire me. They use culture and creativity to tell deep stories, and that pushes me to also tell stories through my art.
How do you handle criticism or feedback on your artwork? How do you use it to grow and improve as an artist?
I see criticism as a way to learn. I don’t take it personally—I use it to sharpen my drawing skills and improve.
Are there any specific goals or aspirations you have for your artistic career? How do you plan to pursue them?
I want to keep improving my drawing, share my art with more people, and one day showcase it in exhibitions. I’ll do this by practicing, learning, and entering more art opportunities.
