Josiah Chinedu Josiah, born on July 10, 1992, in Taraba State, hails from Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State. He studied Painting at Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, where he earned both his OND and HND between 2015 and 2019. A multidisciplinary artist, Josiah is also a writer, photographer, and art coach. His works reflect his personal worldview, drawing from imagination, emotion, and the realities of his environment. He believes that art transcends definition, as it evokes diverse meanings and emotions for different people.
Josiah has participated in several group exhibitions, including the Sogal Lagos Contemporary Art Auction (2021) and the Lagos Miniature Art Fair (2018, 2019, and 2021).
His paintings revolve around the intrigues of life and the constant cycle of existence. Through his practice, he explores the relationship between energy, emotion, and perception, interpreting the unseen forces that shape human experience. For Josiah, art is a personal truth, an opportunity to give meaning to what others may overlook and a voice in the vast dialogue of human existence. Ultimately, his work invites viewers to find their own interpretations and truths beyond conventional understanding or institutional meaning.
