Biography

Utubor Shadrach Melvin in Nigerian visual artist. He uses the human figure to explore spirituality, emotion, and ideas around gender and identity.

He holds a National Diploma in General Art and a Higher National Diploma in Painting from Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, and was mentored by Nigerian contemporary painter and draughtsman Edosa Oguigo. His work sits between emotion, spirituality, and form, inviting viewers into familiar but unspoken human experiences.
