about

Raised in Nigeria and now rooted in Seattle, Nifemi Madarikan is a visual artist whose work explores how threads of vulnerability, self-compassion, and intimacy bind our lives together.

Nifemi constructs scenes shaped by light, feeling, and narrative. Exhibited in Seattle and supported by local institutions including the Museum of Pop Culture, 4Culture, and NFFTY, his practice centers quiet moments of powerful connection that position tenderness as both compass and shelter.

At its core, Nifemi’s work offers a space for bearing witness to shared experiences of pain, presence, and resilience. Through image-making, he invites viewers into a deeper relationship with themselves and with one another.
