Nengi Uranta (b. 1999) is a Lagos-based interdisciplinary artist working across mixed media painting, digital illustration, and string art. Her practice is rooted in surreal and figurative imagery, alongside intricate thread-based compositions, and is informed by cultural narratives, contemporary life, and the experiences of Black/African women. Across these mediums, she is interested in the complexities of being and the ways vulnerability, desire, and choice shape our experience of the world.

She has exhibited in virtual and physical group shows including ‘Art Matters’ by Concord College (2026, London, UK), She-nergy' by Alliance Française de Lagos (2026), +234Art Fair by Soto Gallery (2025–2026, Lagos), NFT.NYC (2023–2024, New York), 'Faces' and 'The Places We Call Home' by Women in Arts Network (2025–2026), and many more.
