Onyinye m (My Gift), 2019 I decontextualize. Then, I reconstruct. Looking past the obvious, close
observation and engagement of the subject is my process. The challenge
Oil on Canvas - (W122 x H131) 48 x 52 in. is to see beyond the distraction of the conspicuous to capture its unique
Signed and Dated (Lower Right) self. Some of my subjects are quite beautiful, others less so. My goal is to
inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around
N600,000 - N750,000 them, to discover beauty in unusual places.”
