Nelson Okoh is a Nigerian artist born in 1974. For the past five years, Okoh has become one of Nigeria’s most sought-after artists. Self-taught artist, Okoh describes his style as impressionism. His unique and distinctive style is created by the use of a palette knife. “I am inspired by everything around me, nature in general. Sometimes it could be due to the sea wave, water ripples, sky colors or body language. He said once. “I believe the world is filled with people if we decide to open our eyes to see beyond what is visible to the average person.”
