Helen Ifeagwu’s paintings emerge from a space between realism and imagination, drawing on her dual heritage and a deep curiosity about the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Born to Austrian and Nigerian parents and based in Vienna, her practice is shaped by a background in journalism and visual art, with studies at City, University of London and the Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts. Guided by an Afrofuturist lens, Ifeagwu’s work blends symbolic detail with surreal atmospheres—inviting viewers to consider identity as something both grounded and speculative, personal and universal.
