“Leaning heavily on clichéd and contemporary African
themes,I strive to show the diversity and vibrancy of African culture, from the conventional to the un- conventional ideas of Africa. Drawing inspiration from my late uncle’s art style, I rely on fluid lines
to depict forms without solid identities, using traditional fine art and digital media to express many visions and creative ideas. During the Covid-19 quarantine, I reconnected with my love for traditional fine art, focusing on acrylic paint- ing and gilding, having focused more on digital art media for years. My ongoing body of work ranges from abstract to representational, relying on series or singular works with an implied con- nectivity.”
