I have been interested in art and artists my entire life. I remember growing up in Lagos, Nigeria always excited to visit the market because I loved how colorful the different shops looked with their products on display. I always believed that everything we see, touch, feel, or hear was a form of art.

My work explores the relationship colors have with our emotions and imagination. Colors reflect our true feelings and sometimes our aspirational experience. My work of art transcends emotions I’m unable to fully express with mere words; the use of colors, abstract line markings and textures are an expression of different experiences that gives the viewers an incline to my innermost moments.
