Effiom Asukwo Bassey is an artist based in Abuja. He hails from Nsit Atai LGA of Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. Effiom passed through Kaduna, Lagos and Abuja in his early education stages, graduated from the department of Fine and Industrial Arts, University of Uyo, with a Bachelor of Art degree in 2018.

His works cast a critical study on African cultural beliefs, veneration of the African praxis and her women. He explores sensitive topics as I gain inspiration from happenings around me, I try to scrutinise the sociocultural progression and regression of Africans, minding their ethos.

Effiom uses a range of techniques, media and styles to convey his ideas. He has exhibited variously in Nigeria and have gained commissions abroad. "
