                                                    Artist statement
Art is a life time learning experience, art is the ability for you to represent what you are being given, art create no room for boredom, art add quality to life, art is not a competition, it is self expression and communication, its like handwriting no two individual have the same.

Art is one of the universal language, it speak of things that are difficult or simply inexpressible in words, it touches the heart of everyone in one way or another, regardless of race, belief, gender, cultural background.

Our world has many problem at present, in response to this I create artworks that is uplifting, urging motivating people to find love among themselves, to help and encourage each other to dance and sing and share life's bounty, with renewed love for each other in the global village on which we live.

                               About my Sculptures and Paintings
My images and composition often portray the African, European way of life. I sculpt mainly in clay, stone, wood, metal and etc. I paint in oil and acrylic on canvas with brush and pallet knives, the themes of my work are figurative, abstractions, portraits, landscape and etcetera. And are inspired by God, nature of African and Europe, also it talks about people and places.

My paintings are characterized by texture, rich and bright colours. They emphasize the element and principle of design composition, proportion, perspective. Sculptures are simple organic volumes of concave and convex surfaces. I have exhibited my sculpture, painting within and across the country and people also come for work to expose.
