Nigeria’s Insecta Studios announces Raknida.com to offer high-quality wall Arts in Africa
Insecta Studios, a creative company based in Nigeria that uses storytelling and design to connect brands and people, has launched Raknida, a platform aimed at providing high-quality and affordable wall arts that inspire people, promote overall well-being, support the economic advancement of young African artists, and fuse art and tech experiences that open up unique opportunities for everyone, worldwide.
Raknida is a cost-effective wall art option for homeowners, architects, interior designers, business owners or managers, and others who have the ability to use space to achieve various purposes.
As a marketplace, the platform offers users several digital art styles (e.g., graffiti, murals, photography, illustrations, etc.) as three wall art options: art prints, canvas prints, and wallpapers, with the option to frame any art or canvas print.
Raknida was created for the imaginative and young-at-heart obsessed with bringing something real into every space they touch, according to Anthony ‘Anth’ Ezeokoye, CEO and founder of Insecta.
“It is Raknida’s mission to put heart in every space through art.” So, using digital artworks by African creators, high-quality materials, and innovative art-tech, we are redesigning the experience of wall art to help people transform their spaces and inspire them to shape the future on their terms,” Anthony explained.
For more than four years, the Insecta Studios team has been conducting research and developing Raknida as a solution to several challenges identified by art lovers worldwide.
“We’ve spent a few years asking questions to help us understand what people’s real experiences with their spaces have been, and how those interactions affect their daily lives,” said Oma Chiegboka, Insecta Studios’ Communications & Operations Director. “The responses we got gave us deep insight into how wall art can promote growth and quality living, as well as how we can help to enhance people’s real-life experiences at home, in offices, public spaces, and so on.”
Users can take advantage of four (4) key solutions provided by the platform: Artworks that are both high-quality and reasonably priced. Designs that encourage development and allow people to express themselves in their surroundings. Different types of wall art are available for purchase online from anywhere in the world. There are numerous one-of-a-kind designs to choose from, all created by African artists. Raknida, on the other hand, includes even more experiences that take users beyond the art.
“Visual art, like music, can inspire, help you connect with others, give you the ‘cool factor,’ drive you to achieve your goals, transform entire spaces, and much more,” Oma explained. “ So, more than just beautiful artworks for your walls, what we’re aiming for with Raknida is to provide people with memorable experiences that will enrich their lives.
Select Raknida artworks are enhanced with augmented reality, allowing users to bring their wall arts to life on their phones. Some even have ASMR audio affirmations designed to excite and motivate users.
Raknida, as a wall art marketplace, provides a means of economic growth for young African digital artists. Furthermore, 10% of the profits from every artwork purchased on Raknida are dedicated annually to assisting child artists in Nigeria in achieving their dreams. Invest in artworks and earn money
NFTs are one of the features that Raknida plans to offer to its users in the near future. Users can earn a percentage of the profits from every sale of their purchased artwork with Raknida NFTs for as long as they own it!
And apparently, there’s a lot more that their team has in store for the Raknida community. According to them, Raknida is ‘wall art like you’ve never experienced it before. Welcome to the future!’
