In 2023, he served as the lead artist for ‘Tracing the Wild,‘ a dynamic data- driven art project illustrating lions’ patterns of territorial movement and conflict with humans to represent and conserve the predator ecosystem in Kenya’s Maasai Mara region.

He has exhibited his works in Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya, Botswana, India, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the USA. His artworks are part of the permanent collections of institutions such as the Center for Memories in Enugu and the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art in Lagos. Through his atelier workshop based in Nigeria, Chuma remains an active innovator and creative artist in the art world, focusing on digital art, cultural art, and industrial product design with many exciting projects on the horizon.
