Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Leonard Iheagwam, known professionally as ‘SOLDIER’, is a multidisciplinary artist whose creativity spans diverse niches, including fashion, skate culture, and beyond. His works explore  the intersections of identity politics, family dynamics, war, and the power of intention.  

He is one of the most exciting faces in London’s modern art scene, who works against the grain by selling artwork directly through social media.  

Okuụkoọ njakịiri is from The Metamorphosis Series.
