 Born in Enugu, eastern Nigeria in 1973, Chukwuma later attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and currently lives and works in Lagos.  Chukwuma's use of traditional Uli and Nsibidi symbols, while acknowledging the connection between his work and the renowned Nsukka art tradition, signifies a profoundly personal and spiritual connection to his history and the present. Chukwuma's works are characterized by highly texturised and meticulously crafted wood panels incorporating techniques such as burning, chiselling, and painting. Chukwuma assembles these panels into weathered and storied artifacts, interwoven with personal and political significance.  He keenly advocates for the environment and is deeply involved with lifting his community.
