Raised in both England and Nigeria, Chid Ozieh is well traveled and a man of the world. Ozieh has always been an artist focusing on music and drawing since he was a child. He started painting seriously in 2006. He initially started painting with acrylic on linen canvas but has now progressed to using oils. He adopted several styles including the Neo Mannerist style pioneered by the late Ernie Barnes. Each painting by Ozieh is part of a theme and tells a story. His goal is to paint the world as he sees it, and to paint the timeless pieces that speak to people on a human level and give them a different perspective. Ozieh has exhibited all over the world including Paris, London, Houston, Philadelphia and his extraordinary work features in prominent art collections in Europe and North America.
