Osinachi (born October 24, 1991) is a digital artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. The first crypto artist out of Africa, he has been in the NFT space for about five years now, making artworks that mirror his personal experiences through a unique visual language that he has perfected over 15 years. His practice has led to conversations around NFTs and how works produced in the space speak to a larger humanity.
In addition to numerous collaborations with big players in the art world, Osinachi auctioned five unique NFTs last year in Europe. The project which was a three-way collaboration between him, Christie’s Europe and 1-54 Art Fair marked the first time the auction house would present NFTs in Europe, the first exhibition of NFTs at the art fair, and made Osinachi the first African to achieve such a feat, among other milestones.
More recently, he launched the widely successful pfp/avatar project Across the Face which marked the first time we would see two NFT platforms form a partnership for the launch of a singular project.
