About The Artist


Yelloseesee (YELLOSEESEE: {one word } Is a fair reddish-brown skin colored, with dirty-gold colored hair african artist, whose works are basically inspired by light (because i shade a lot in my works) and sees where the human eyes cannot birth sight (because i do abstract arts mainly; hence the double "see")) Uwaoma was born Jidechukwu Uwaoma jude (hurray!, twins; twin sister's name is Jennifer Munachimso Jude) on the 5th of september 1984 to an artist father;Mr. Alphonsus Jude and a banker mother; Mrs. Victoria Chinasa Jonathan-Ojei. The art gene which runs from his father through him started exhibiting itself when he could barely handle a pencil, this would later make him draw everything he sees in his "Alvin & the chipmunks" comic book into his exercise book. Going to school, yelloseesee just had fine art as one of his twelve regular subjects through out junior secondary school in Word of Faith college Benin City,Edo state. He graduated from Benson Idahosa University, Benin city, Edo state with a BSc in Computer science (second class lower to be precise) in 2007 and worked in an IT firm in Lagos for nearly two years. After parting ways with the IT firm, he personally provided IT solutions for barely four months and finally "called the curtains" on the IT world to start his studio with nothing but his black biro & resume papers neatly packed in a corner, right in his room in the family house. Ever since he has not looked back. Asked how he coped with challenges of starting his studio with practically nothing and how he deals with everyday challenges as a young unique abstract artist in a part of the world that has not really woken up to value works of art, he simply smiles and quotes his favorite saying "everyday I wake up I murder fear and resurrect faith" while giving thanks to my heavenly father for making me see another day
