Onajevwe is a versatile British-Nigerian artist whose practice interlaces her personal narrative with vibrant compositions that echo the energetic traditions and culture of her heritage. Her work is rooted in a commitment to redressing historical imbalances in the contemporary art space, foregrounding non-Western perspectives that have long been overlooked.

Working fluidly across disciplines, she conveys her story with clarity and intent, inviting viewers to encounter her art as a space for reconciliation and healing. Drawing on both lived experience and cosmic interventions, she channels a universal light source into her work, regularly calling on her spirit guides and ancestral energies to inspire and support her creative process. This dialogue between the material and the spiritual imbues her pieces with a distinct contemporary lens while honoring ancestral wisdom.

Through this synthesis of the personal, the cultural, and the spiritual, Onajevwe seeks to challenge and expand the boundaries of art history—empowering her own voice and amplifying those of others from non-Western backgrounds.
