Anthony Azekwoh
Mythmaker.
Painting myth into existence. Blending African folklore, classical technique, and digital mastery to tell stories that refuse to be forgotten.
There is a gap in human history. Centuries of African civilisation were either destroyed, suppressed, or simply never recorded. Anthony Azekwoh is filling that gap. He is building the archive of African civilisation with the same authority and permanence that the Western world built for itself.
The Work
Six disciplines. One archive.
Paintings
Bold, narrative-driven works. Classical portraiture meets Afrofuturist mythology.
Sculptures
From ZBrush to marble. Characters out of the screen and into the world.
Album Art
Visual identity for musicians. Adekunle Gold, Blaqbonez, Masego, Cynthia Erivo.
Commercial
Work for Meta, Rocket League, and brands that need cultural depth.
Writing
Five books. Hundreds of stories and essays. Every painting has a tale behind it.
NFT
Over $300k in sales across SuperRare, Foundation, and OpenSea since 2021.
About the Artist
I grew up surrounded by stories. Then my laptop broke and I picked up leftover pens and A4 paper from my parents' house and started drawing. It wasn't a pivot. It was survival. What began as one boy's necessity is now an archive of African civilisation, painting by painting.
