Akhigbe Richard victor, born 1994, is a self-taught Nigerian visual artist, a graduate of Lagos state polytechnic (Laspotech) as a computer scientist. He uses Charcoal and pastel as his medium. He fell in love with charcoal and pastel and started expressing his creativity through this medium since 2015 and his style has evolved over the years.
Artist Statement - "My work explores the fragile space between what is seen and what is felt. I am drawn to the quiet tensions that exist in the human mind-memory, absence, longing, and the unspoken emotions that shape our inner worlds. Through charcoal, minimal forms, and muted tones, I search for moments of stillness where thought becomes visible and silence becomes a language of its own.
I am fascinated by the interplay of light and void, and how shadows can suggest presence as powerfully as figures can."
