Artist Profile

Alexis Chivir-ter Tsegba
Visual artist from Nigeria
Alexis Tsegba is a visual artist specialising in digital collages. As a teenager, she moved to England to study Law at the University of Reading. While she found this experience positively challenging, she yearned to be doing something more creative. She was spending much of her time making sketches, drawing and painting. In 2017, she decided to take a chance on herself and her art and applied to pursue postgraduate study in Creative and Media Enterprise at the University of Warwick. Alexis found this field much more fulfilling and soul-enriching. It was during this period, specifically while writing her final dissertation, that she began making digital collages. Alexis finds inspiration by observing. She is always looking for patterns in things, people and emotions or wandering off to strange places on her own. Her greatest inspiration is going through life as herself, observing her emotions and those of others and creating her own version of reality.
