How it works →
Turn Chill Vibes upside down and it does not change. Anth Ezeokoye trained as an architect at the University of Nigeria, and this picture is laid out like a plan. It is a grid of squares, each holding a quarter-circle, a triangle, a ring or a wedge. The squares are arranged so the whole field answers itself from either end. The yellow dot at the top edge waits for its twin at the bottom. The spotted tile in one corner finds its partner in the opposite one.

In between, nothing settles. Blue runs into black, red interrupts yellow, and the eye keeps finding shapes that are almost letters and never quite spell a word. Chill Vibes belongs to Geometric Bliss, his collection of curved and angular shapes in a sea of white. It holds the balance that collection is after: busy enough to keep looking, ordered enough to rest in.

Motifs in this work

Rotational symmetry: the design reads the same from either end

Quarter-circles and triangles: curved and angular shapes held in tension

Sea of white: the open margin that lets the colour breathe

The artist

Anthony Ezeokoye

Igbo · Missouri, USA · Origin: Nigeria · 19 works on Raknida

Anthony “Anth” Ezeokoye (b. 1989) is an international award-winning digital artist, trained architect, creative director, and creative technologist. His practice sits where cultural storytelling meets emerging media. A Nigerian based in St. Louis, with professional roots across Africa’s creative industries, Anth builds visual worlds across illustration, motion, extended reality, and artificial intelligence. He treats technology not as a novelty but as a tool for authorship, access, and cultural continuity.

Across series, collections, and commissions, Anth’s work explores how heritage, identity, and narratives are constructed. He often uses contemporary African visual language to question what we inherit, how we perform, and who we choose to become.

In the A Queen & More collection, he explores the many dimensions of womanhood through 12 character archetypes in a bold, contemporary palette. Layered elements honor choice, complexity, and self-definition. In the Mask Off collection, he positions African heritage as both inheritance and future legacy. Illustration, 3D digital production, and looping animation ask what remains when performative “masks” fall away, and how cultural values can be re-authored today. His calligraphic portrait series, The Autograph, fuses typography, symbolism, and precise craftsmanship, constructing faces from names, dates, quotes, and lived histories.

Anth’s wider career extends into building creative infrastructure. He is the founder of Raknida, an art-tech platform that widens access to cultural stories by underrepresented artists. Its growing suite of products and experiences spans discovery, collection, and display. He has presented and directed creative projects across cultural, art, and design festivals and public-facing contexts. His creative direction runs through two businesses: Insecta Studios, a creative services company in Lagos, Nigeria, and Raknida Inc. in St. Louis. Recognition includes Arch Grants, SOVAS Voice Arts Awards, One Voice Awards USA, and a Future Awards Africa nomination in Arts and Culture.
