Florian Okwu is an American-born sculptor with Nigerian and German heritage. His career as a sculptor began after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2024, where he was first inspired to carve the forms which now populate and mythologize his imaginary landscapes. His anthropomorphic work primarily references life cycles, embodiment, and animism, asking viewers to consider objects as individuals. Florian defines his artistic practice as an object-creator relationship built on form-making: An uncovering of his own humanity through the physicalization of his subconscious.
