Ufuoma Evuarherhe was born in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria on the 24th of June,1969.  Ufuoma spent his formative years in the city of Lagos where he completed his college education that would ensure the beginning of his career as a painter.

He graduated with a Higher National Diploma (HND) from the prestigious Yaba College of Technology Lagos in 1994. Ufuoma later studied at the University of Benin, Edo State and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts (BA) in 1999.

Much of his artistic experience is as a result of tutelage and affiliations with renowned artists like Sam Ovraiti, Emmanuel Ikoro, and Duke Asidere among others.

Ufuoma enjoys the benefits of a highly demanding but fulfilling career that has resulted in numerous high profile exhibitions in Nigeria and overseas. His works can be found in many public and private collections.

Ufuoma’s personal thoughts and philosophy, “Through the exploration of the language of the body, he develops, creates, and maintains a passionate relationship with his works, the look of colours, the visual sensation of the oils and the tactile results produced as the palette knife glides in oil as the paint is spread, smudged and worked on the canvas, with this he conjures an eloquent tongue with which he sings visually by bringing forms to life, generous strokes and techniques depicting movements or subtle gestures in the expression of moods, thoughts feelings, true essence and soul of the subject. All this present for me an ever-increasing inspiration, joy and exciting milestones in my artistic journeys that is ever evolving and creatively never ending”.
