Christian Allison is a hyperrealist artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical engineering. Before veering into art full-time, Allison worked and gathered work experience in the oil sector. Seeing an unending tussle in his desires – to work full-time as an engineer or follow his creational passion as an artist, he decided to succumb to the effect art had and the fulfillment felt in every stroke of color applied to build a niche for himself within the art space.
