A visual artist and expressionist, Minika grew up 

surrounded by nature and its many elements. Driven by 

passion and innovation, her artistic and cultural upbringing 

inspires her work and are heavy influences on her creative 

expressions.

Growing up amidst the vibrant and flamboyant cultural 

tapestry of Calabar significantly molded her outlook and left 

a lasting influence. She started exploring art from an early 

age and fell in love with that form of expression. 

Discovering more about art drew her into the beauty industry 

where she rose to become one of Nigeria’s top makeup 

artists, her style of make-up ranging from soft to expressive 

looks. 

Minika is constantly exploring life’s journey and sharing it 

through various media. She considers the human body as 

one of her canvases to share these stories. Her art is bold, 

colorful and reflective of her rich African heritage.
