Carving Stories Into Every Line

Where Ink Meets Imagination

Bold Cuts. Timeless Prints

Hi I’m Nneka Chima

Welcome to my world of linocut, where I turn simple blocks into
powerful stories. Each piece I create is carefully carved and printed by hand,
capturing moments, emotions, and ideas that matter to me.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Nneka Chima employs linocut printmaking as a visual language and
storytelling tool. Chima discovered this medium while studying at Ahmadu.
Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria and has since mastered the intricate technique,
in her stylistic consistency and attention to details. Her works merge realism,
surrealism, and abstraction to create a sentimental longing and evoke memories,
through distorted figures, bold patterns, floral landscapes and vibrant colours.
Nneka Chima was selected for the ART X Lagos Portfolio Review in 2020 as well as
participated in various exhibitions in Nigeria and other countries.
Artist Statement
My work explores the power of storytelling through the tactile process
of linocut printmaking. I am drawn to the physical act of carving each line,
cut, and mark becoming a deliberate expression of thought and emotion. Working
by hand allows me to embrace both precision and imperfection,giving each piece a
unique character.
