About Me
Art is not just an aesthetic—it’s an experience, a philosophy, a luxury, a way of being. My art is an invitation into that world. A world where art is not just seen, but felt. Where fashion, fine art, and bespoke craftsmanship merge.
It is an invitation to step into a world where beauty is boundless, where art becomes a part of your identity, into something far beyond possession—something deeply personal, something timeless. Designed for those who seek more than beauty—those who crave meaning, rarity, and timeless elegance.
I grew up in the electric vibrance of Africa, I was an artist before I knew the word for it. Creativity wasn’t just a passion or a choice; it was my first language. Before I could fully articulate my thoughts, I was drawing them, painting them, bringing them to life. My childhood home bore the marks of my restless imagination—sketchbooks overflowing, walls transformed into canvases, ideas too grand to be contained by paper alone.
Academia led me toward diplomacy and politics, but my soul as a creative found its true rhythm in the world of art and fashion. I found my way back through fashion—designing garments and footwear that told stories of culture, heritage, and innovation. I was drawn to the rawness of materials, the endless possibilities of fabric, clay, dye—mediums that told stories in ways words never could. Tie & Dye, Paper Mache, Pottery—these weren’t just techniques; they were an extension of my identity, a rebellion against the ordinary.
Then came the great pause—Covid-19. The world slowed down, but my creativity refused to be stilled. In that stillness, I had a a moment of clarity: what I had once treated as personal expression could become something more—an immersive, curated experience for those who understood the rarity of true craftsmanship. And so, I stepped fully into my identity as a luxury artist.
Exclusivity and freedom are at the heart of everything I create. Luxury, to me, is not just opulence; it is freedom. True luxury lies in the details—the textures, the craftsmanship, the emotion embedded in every piece. Each piece is designed to be more than art—it’s a statement, a legacy, an heirloom.
My aesthetic is a balance of contrasts—minimal yet bold, structured yet fluid, timeless yet deeply rooted in the present. Every stroke, every detail, every carefully crafted piece is meant to evoke something powerful, something unforgettable. Each piece I create is not just meant to be admired—it is meant to be felt. When I’m not immersed in the stroke of my brush, I seek refuge in impeccably minimalist environments. I find that the serene simplicity provides a tranquil counterbalance to the dynamic energy of urban life in Lagos & the vivid colors in my daily life.
To own my work is to embrace a lifestyle of intentional beauty.
To own my work is to embrace something rare, something deeply personal, something that will stand the test of time.
To own my work is an invitation to step into a world where beauty is boundless, where art becomes a part of your identity.
A Yigha Art piece is for those who don’t just admire luxury but live it—the 1% of the 1%—who understand that true artistry isn’t mass-produced, but meticulously crafted, infused with meaning, and made to last generations.
This is more than art.
This is an experience.
This is a legacy.
This is Yigha.
Welcome to my world.
