Artist, physician, Clinical Lecturer and Preceptor based in Edmonton, Canada.
Nkolika Anyabolu is a family physician, Clinical Lecturer and Preceptor at the University of Alberta, and self-taught artist based in Edmonton, Canada. She serves as an elected Council Member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
Her work draws on two decades of clinical practice across Nigeria, Botswana, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and on what sustained contact with patients teaches about resilience, connection, and the human condition. Through colour, form, and composition, she works with questions of identity, humanity, and belonging.
Her artwork has been collected internationally and exhibited in recognised medical and artistic spaces, including exhibitions at the Royal Society of London and the Royal Dutch Medical Association's Pincet & Penseel exhibition.
She holds that art and medicine ask the same fundamental question: what does it mean to be fully present with another person?
“ It is amazing how colours can be used to convey messages and create a depth that uplifts the soul. ”
