I've executed over a hundred commissioned portrait paintings (oil, gouache, ink, acrylic), drawings and mixed medias (plastics, beads, stones, sand, fabric, threads) specially adorned and textured in my self devised technique known as "melt" used to create convincing and stylized African motifs on my works which significantly represents and relates the African culture and traditions. I've had several duo and group exhibitions, had my first solo exhibition last year December where I exhibited 30 paintings of diverse media ranging from oil, acrylic, plastic melt and rubber coat, ink and collection of plastic wastes for installation arts. I am completely captivated and inspired by my dreams, African events in remote areas (villages) evened by figures, societal happenings, (but mostly dream about my finished works even before execution) and this birthed "3 sides to my coin of execution" spiritual (mystery), enlightening (informative) and African (use of stylized African motifs) which greatly reflected in my first solo exhibition in 2018 themed "WITHIN AND BEYOND". I love to use my brush and paints coupled with my "melt" technique to creatively romance brilliant and sharp colors for aesthetic vibrancy to create textures and stylized African motifs on my paintings which also expressively creates painterly effects. From time to time I vary my subject matter with abstract art, landscape, installation arts, but people (figurative expressions) remain my passion and true obsession. I look forward to having international exhibition opportunities and commission works.
