OBIEKWE “OBI” OKOLO

Obiekwe "Obi" Okolo, a distinguished Nigerian American photographer and multimedia artist, stands at the intersection of creativity and cultural dialogue. As the Creative Director at BitterSweet Creative and the Arts & Culture Editor for BitterSweet Monthly, Obi merges his profound understanding of visual storytelling with strategic innovation, leading transformative projects that resonate deeply with audiences.

Raised in the vibrant cities of Lagos, Nigeria, and San Antonio, Texas, Obi's artistic journey began in architecture. His transition to portraiture and the written word is a reflection of his quest to explore and articulate the reconciliation of humanity—a theme that mirrors his own bicultural identity. This unique perspective fuels his creative vision, making his work a compelling exploration of self-discovery and cultural synthesis.
