The Artist

Nobody in Nigerian art today captures images in water colour the way Ovraiti does. His strength is probably the ability to capture the subtlety and evanescent qualities of the medium. Like the best artists , Ovraiti works as effectively in other media like oil and pastel as he does in water colour. Ovraiti studied at the Auchi Polytechnic and after a few years teaching in secondary schools became an art teacher at the polytechnic. He remained in Auchi till the mid nineties. He is today a full time artist based in Lagos
