I am a Luxembourgish-Nigerian artist specialising in Afrocentric contemporary art. Born and raised in Benin City, Nigeria, I learned to sculpt before studying Painting and General Art at the School of Art and Design, Auchi Polytechnic, graduating in 2006. I left Nigeria for Russia in 2015 and have lived in Luxembourg since 2017.

​

I work in acrylic and oil, using a distinctive pouring technique with everyday household objects. Through experimental colour, strong contrasts and richly textured surfaces, I give my paintings a sculptural quality. My work explores identity, belonging and cultural memory, while promoting social inclusion and cultural diversity.

​

I have created more than 150 professional artworks and participated in over 30 exhibitions. More than half of my works are held in public and private collections across Nigeria, Russia, Europe and the UK. My work has also been featured in numerous local and international media outlets.

​

My professional background spans management, information technology and finance. I am the founder and director of Lëtz Art, a Luxembourg non-profit dedicated to socio-economic integration and cultural diversity. I also created TRICOT, a publicly funded initiative supporting self-employment and independent project development, in collaboration with the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, the House of Entrepreneurship and other partners.

Through my company, 1X by Nosa-Odia Consulting S.à r.l., I develop cultural and innovative projects, collect and promote art, and connect artists, audiences and partners across borders.
