DI EL (b. 2002, Rivers State, Nigeria; lives and works in Abuja) is a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist whose practice spans painting, digital art, and skate culture. Rooted in struggle and spiritual memory, he developed Nigredo Expressionism — a raw, instinctive style that embraces chaos and transformation. His work, influenced by Basquiat, SLAWN, and personal ritual, blends subconscious figures with color and texture to explore survival, spirituality, and cultural defiance.
