Peju Alatise




Alatise was born in 1975 in Nigeria and later trained as an architect, which she credits with introducing her to the importance of materials, but she was always drawn to art. She is fascinated by the work of artists as diverse as Do-ho Suh, Antony Gormley and Piet Mondrian. Alatise defines her artistic practice as a search for truth and to this end much of her work centres on women in Nigeria and on the political and religious issues at the heart of the country.

Peju specializes in mixed media, she is also a poet. Peju have exhibited in Nigeria and abroad.
