Walking The Tightrope

Nigerian born artist, Alexis Tsegba, finds inspiration by observing. She is always looking for patterns in people and nature while attempting to remain open to the emotions that are held in both. She is driven by a desire to convert these feeling into art and somehow express the way that she sees the world.

Alexis is drawn to reimagining alternate futures where positive aspects of culture and technology are merged to foster our relationship with nature. Still, while fantasy and surrealism may be immediately evident in her work, there is also an intention to convey the joy and resilience that makes up the everyday African in real life and how this too is a strong part of Afrofuturism.
