Artist Statement
My art is a bridge between heritage and contemporary expression. Rooted in the cultural traditions of the Egun people of Badagry, my practice is driven by a deep respect for memory, identity, and community. I use painting and sculpture as vessels to capture the unseen emotions, ancestral stories, and spiritual connections that shape our everyday lives.Each work is a dialogue—between past and present, between the physical and the spiritual, between individual experience and collective history. I draw inspiration from the rhythms of my environment, transforming them into visual narratives that speak of resilience, belonging, and the complexity of human existence.Through form, color, and texture, I strive to create works that are not only visually compelling but also emotionally resonant—pieces that invite reflection and spark conversations across cultures. My ultimate goal is to preserve heritage while expanding the possibilities of contemporary African art on a global stage.
