Introduction
COLOURMIMI by Millicent Osumuo
In life, there is a need to be constantly inspired—through sound, sight, and story. Through art, lives are enriched, thoughts challenged, and perspectives broadened. Visual art goes even further: it helps us understand history, form, substance, and our place in an ever-changing world.
At Colourmimi, we understand that art for businesses, institutions, and public spaces must meet a range of aesthetic and cultural needs—often different from those of private collectors. That’s why we offer diverse visual styles and curated collections tailored to enhance a wide variety of environments.
Background
Colourmimi Limited is a women-led creative enterprise registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (RC 762871). We are proud to collaborate with a wide network of partners in the arts, culture, media, communications, and humanitarian sectors.
Founded by Millicent Osumuo Onuegbu, Colourmimi began operations in 1999 as a freelance creative studio. By 2005, it had relocated its hub to Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, evolving into a full-fledged art and design enterprise. Over the years, we’ve consistently delivered quality products and services to an expanding, loyal client base—both locally and internationally.
Who We Are
Colourmimi by Millicent Osumuo is a vibrant African art and lifestyle brand that transforms original artworks into functional keepsakes—making fine art a beautiful part of daily life.
We specialize in producing high-quality, art-infused products—from wearable accessories and household items to sustainably made furniture. Each piece carries the visual language of African culture and the creative imprint of two generations: Millicent Osumuo and her daughter, Ijembuawele.
By merging artistic expression with everyday utility, Colourmimi bridges the gap between culture and community.
Techniques & Approach
We also explore many veins of art such as naturalism (including still life, landscape, figurative, and portraiture). Pop art, Abstraction (traditional and new), Conceptual art, Digital art (photography and graphic designs), and Sculpture (wood, stone, metal, mixed-media, stabile, and kinetic) just to meet the evolving preferences of our esteemed clients. We travel the world generating ideas and resources that represent a broad range of aesthetic approaches and visual styles.
