Are You Having Fun or Are You Doing This Thing to Survive? Painting

I am a Nigerian artist whose work is a quiet offering- an altar of color, memory, and grace. I paint not just to be seen, but to heal, to pray, to remember. My art is where silence speaks, where sorrow meets light, and where the soul finds space to breathe. The passing of my child opened a sacred wound in me- one that now guides my hands with reverence. My work has become slower, softer, deeper. Each stroke is a whisper, each canvas a conversation between earth and spirit. Though touched by grief, my art remains rooted in hope. It carries the weight of loss, but also the promise of light after darkness. I create as a form of faith- believing still in beauty, in meaning, in the quiet miracles of each day.
