UNAPXLXGETIC Is An Alternative Name Adopted By Neuro-Artist & Designer, Emmanuel Wisdxm.

As an artist, designer, educator & curator, Emmanuel has been immersed in art all his life. He intertwines art and healing by using chromotherapy and ancestral symbolic representations to promote psychological and emotional health, empowering personal and collective identity to communities suppressed by colonialism, capitalism, and marginalization.

As a child, he and his family experienced successive civil wars in his home country, Liberia. In 2003 Liberia entered active conflict lasting the entirety of his childhood there; resulting in 250,000 deaths, displacement of over half of the population, and destruction of critical infrastructures.

Through art, he regained what felt lost as a child: play and freedom. It taught him to express himself confidently and extend this energy to others - a therapeutic outlet when interacting with our inner children. kindness, connection, empathy, service, self empowerment, and collective growth are integral principles of his visual arts approach. His mission is to share these modalities for collective healing.

His paintings and murals offer a transformative journey that fosters self-discovery, reconnection with heritage, and mental rejuvenation. Proving that through mindful artistry, one can nurture a thriving inner garden and reclaim authenticity amidst external pressures.

As an educator, he uses art as a language for restoration and expression, encouraging students to develop creativity, think critically, and learn intuitively. Utilizing trauma-informed modalities and socio-emotional skills through color psychology, helping students identify their emotional states and create mindful art.

Art exhibitions are an imperative aspect of his journey as an artist. His shows are immersive art and wellness experiences, full of celebration. His exhibitions raises awareness around social equity, racial justice, spiritual ascension, and self empowerment in under-served communities.
