In this report, Legit.ng will be showing five of those young Nigerians whose works gave us unimaginable beauty.

1. Kelly Omodamwen

Omodamwen became an instant celebrity in 2020 when the installations he created using spark plugs went viral on social media platforms.

Speaking with the media, the man revealed that the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic gave him an ample time to work on his crafts.

2. Abinoro Akporode Collins

Collins is another talented Nigerian artist. He reused cutlery like spoons and forks to make beautiful sculptures.
