Jonathan Mavua Lessor was born on 26th November, 1960. Studied art and design at the Auchi
Polytechnic School of Art and Design Auchi, Nigeria. Majored in painting and graduated in
1986 with a Higher National Diploma (H.N.D) in painting. Foremost Nigeria artist widely collected
around the world.
Art is my passion, as well as my profession. My work is characterised by heavy, warm, vibrant
colours, often on texturised surfaces depicting subjects ranging from social, economic, cultural
and environmental interest. A medium and an instrument of bond, my art helps to contact and
unite me, my people and my environment with the rest of the world, even when they are beyond
my material senses.
