"I am a ballpoint pen artist based in Nigeria, currently balancing the rigorous world of engineering with the meticulous world of fine art. My work is a study of patience and precision. Using the most humble of tools- the ballpoint pen-I create layered, high-contrast drawings that demand hundreds of hours of focus. My engineering background informs my approach to structure and light, allowing me to transform ink into realistic textures that challenge the viewer's perception of the medium."
