" My Paintings are manifestations of my pride for my African background. I paint in vibrant colours, most times, using my favorite medium; pastel to tell a story of the social life and culture in the Black African continent. Usually, I render my human figures in a unique stylized form, often times, they are sensuous, meditative and elegantly dressed. With this, I try to capture deep emotion; the beauty, the joy, the trials and the hope of the African people in interesting classic subject matters. I feel it is important to share this enriching experience with fellow Africans, as well for people living in other continents to learn what it is like to be an African. With my Art, I intend to create a positive impact on those who come in contact with, or collect my works by enriching their spirit, and as well to continue to make my works a great asset to the collectors around the world."
