Coffee talk with Nigerian visual artist Anthonia Chinasa Nneji

“The complexity of Nature inspires my art. The beauty of the ‘African being’ inspires my art.” That’s how Anthonia Nneji describes her practice. “I pay attention to the trauma of the female body with which I struggle with and which I embrace in my paintings. I speak of struggles with menstrual cycles, weight, insomnia, depression and the agony of discovering meaningful diagnosis in the collapsed healthcare system in Nigeria.” 

This piqued my interest, so I proceeded to contact the University of Lagos graduate, who styles herself as Wallace Ejoh's protégé. She happened to be in London at the time, so we met for a cup of coffee and I asked her the topics I'd been thinking about. 

1. How do you make sure you have time to create? Do you have a set time or build it into your calendar? Well...its a full time job and I work according to mood.

2. What's your tip or best way you maintain a live/work balance? Do you struggle with it? When do you know you're lacking balance? I Currently struggle with my live/work balance. And I know I'm lacking balance when I stay indoor to paint for more than 2 days, without being out for my daily walks.

3. Has there been a specific time that you recall not having your voice heard? Yes. During one of my visits to the doctor. My body was feeling some type of way. But he kept insisting my body wasn't feeling some type of way.

4. Do you have a network of other artists you rely on - and what do you do to support each other?  I'm a less sociable person, I really don't have artists I rely on.

5. Do you have long-term goals? Are they written down or how do you revisit them and make sure you are moving along that path? i have long term goals, written down as well. I always work towards achieving them. When accomplished, I tick them on my list and give myself a treat for a job well done.

6. What's your biggest barrier to being an artist? How do you address it? Being told that art is not a real job and access to art supplies are my biggest barriers. There is little or nothing to be done because of the type of society I live and work in. For the art materials, I order from the US or UK sometimes and it still comes with the report of being delayed or some items stolen.

7. Who do you partner with to achieve your goals? Is it a formal network/agreement or fluid/organic? I have a gallery representation and it is a form agreement.

8. Have you ever said 'no' to an opportunity? How did you decide to say no? Yes I have. I did because it didn't serve my interest or humanity's.

9. What's your relationship with money? Have you made long-term financial plans? Yes, i have made long term financial plans.

10. How do you determine what to charge for your art or services? The demand, often gives us an idea of what to charge.

11. Do you advocate for a living wage and fair pay for your art/services? Not really.

12. How did you set your current rates? The demand gives us an idea. Then, the gallery management and I hold a meeting to discuss it. 

13. How do you cultivate your audience? I really have to rule for this, I guess it just happens. 

14. When do you talk about your art? Everytime. My art is a reflection of my life.

15. Do you feel that your art community challenges existing barriers and assumptions? Yes.

16. Is there something you do today that you wished you had known to do years ago? Maybe, started painting earlier. 

17. Are your goals driving you towards money and fame? Yes.

18. What does generosity mean to you as an artist? How do you emulate this? It means guiding younger artists and my fellow Contemporaries.

It was really nice discussing with you Anthonia. Good luck in all your future endeavours. I’m rooting for you and look forward to seeing you on the big stage.
