Adabeke Chisom

Nigeria • 1997

Adabeke Nichodemus Chisom (b. 1997, Lagos) creates Contemporary African Sovereign Portraiture featuring deep obsidian skin tones, monochromatic textures, and cowry adornments. Rooted in her Igbo heritage (Chisom, "God follows me"), her work fuses classical portraiture with ancestral symbolism, turning quiet stillness into a regal expression of spiritual power.
