Akanimoh Umoh studied Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He further studied at the Universal Studio of Art, Igamnu, under notable painter Mr. Abiodun Olaku, one of Nigeria's legends (a huge post coming on him, and it's going to be the best post ever). Akanimoh works extensively in Watercolour medium, so he and I are buddy buddies. The first day I met him, he took my supplies and started painting with them, and that little sketch looked great.

Akanimoh's painting style is a subtle blend of Contemporary African and Art Nouveau. He loves the Female figure and has this dreamy, beautiful quality to his work. He's using the one of the hardest media ever and creating such detailed nuances in his works.
Akanimoh's work is to be found at most auctions, including Arthouse and Terra Kulture.
